The text in the file LICENSE when choosing OFL 1.1 license when creating a new repository is not the same as the official license as found in https://openfontlicense.org/documents/OFL.txt

It matches the one from SPDX, I believe: compare https://spdx.org/licenses/OFL-1.1.txt with https://v15.next.forgejo.org/mahlzahn2/test-ofl/raw/branch/main/LICENSE

Author

Maybe they have it wrong too as the starting lines with author info are missing.

On the SPDX website it sis stated that these lines are optional: https://spdx.org/licenses/OFL-1.1 🤔

Author

I think they are mistaken, as teh text references the author, hence need to be filled out.

They can be prefilled with 'Full name' with fallback 'Username' and repo URL. Like MIT license is also prefilled.

There are also more differences, e.g. the -- is replaced with Unicode n-dash –.
