What's the license? Is this purely an internal IBM font?

I just heard of pngcrush for the first time. I usually use optipng. Any insight which is better?

There's a good comparison between multiple png optimizers here: http://optipng.sourceforge.net/pngtech/optipng.html > pngcrush by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, available at http://pmt.sourceforge.net/pngcrush , is an open-source program that iterates over PNG filters and zlib (Deflate) parameters, compresses the image repeatedly using each parameter configuration, and chooses the configuration that yields the smallest compr…
It's a licensed font from Blue Monday. No cyrillic, no greek, not to mention polytonic greek. And they took the true small caps out of the fonts ... MISC FIXED forever!

In the end it does not matter since they did not use any of them. If I can reduce size of that page in 2 minutes, without any webdev background and using the only tool I could remember if few seconds than there is something seriously wrong with the way they treat visitors.
While interesting, is this really necessary? Call me skeptical, but value add = negligible, justification for an entire department to spend several months+ working = likely. I can see why companies like Apple and Microsoft would want to be involved in making fonts, they make their bread and butter by creating warm-fuzzies and having a consistent design language; IBM though, less so? Genuinely interested to hear other…
Typography is a fickle, subtle thing that can influence people without them being aware of it. While on HN, folks may pretend to prefer stark naked HTML, that doesn't fly with the general public.
IBM decided it needed a refresh in that area. Good for them and good for the graphic design professionals that did the rather impressive work here.
