Free Webinar Event Information: Font License Compliance

I got an email from a reader about a free webinar that will talk about Font License Compliance – a topic I did an ask call on last year but is always worth revisiting.  Here is the information – it is free and I have no vested interest in telling you about it (FTC compliance and all) but think it might be of interest to artists who use fonts in their work.
