Does a DSL copyleft license allow free components to be embedded in a non-free proprietary product?
Given: font distributed under the DESIGN SCIENCE LICENSE copyleft license ( https://www.gnu.org/licenses/dsl.html ).
Do I have the right to use it in a closed proprietary project? Those. put the font ttf file unmodified and make it part of the product? It is not entirely clear whether in this case my product will be a derivative. Well, the LGPL comes to mind, which allows you to use free libraries with dynamic linking and the ability to replace them without recompiling (the ttf file can also be replaced without recompiling the program, that is, it seems to be not part of the product, hence the question).

the aggregation of the Work with other works that are not based on the Work -- such as but not limited to inclusion in a publication, broadcast, compilation, or other media -- does not bring the other works in the scope of the License; nor does such aggregation void the terms of the License for the Work.
