Oh! Derp! I guess I am used to marketing-level abuses of language.
>More practically, since browsers won't have an flif decoder there isn't an easy way to embed the images online without reencoding them in a different format, which would rather defeat the purpose of putting up sample images.
You know what I never expect to do? Use a VPN just to access the websites my Internet provider is too slow to reach. Tried to do that with the link you posted, still to no avail.
Could you repost your image to, say, Imgur? I'd like to see how you'd implemented ligatures.
(Turned out I remember Input because I saw Output, a font by the same author, and thought "Oh, that's nice! I could use that on my webs-- oh, it's not cheap. Bugger".)
Well, since the gopher images are Creative Commons Attributions 3.0 licensed[1], you could make your own and sell them or give them away if you wanted. I think the point is to promote the language, not to monetize it, and making it available through the Google merchandise store was probably easiest for those involved.

Did you follow the link I posted? I think Bellard put together a pretty nifty demo. Note: Bellard credits xiph.org as the originator of the demo page. http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/daala/update1-tool2b.s...
