Thanks for the advice!

However, I bet that being one of most advanced font makers, ParaType
will want to be the exclusive copyright holder in this case. Anyway,
I wrote them an email where asked to consider using SIL OFL (which
seem was used as base - PT Sans & Serif fonts license looks as
excellent translation of the OFL in fact), or provide a pointer
to English variant of the license at least.

In case of negative result I think it would be good to import ParaType
Open License in native (Russian) language.
