You can't libel or slander the dead. At least in UK no-one can sue you. Eric Gill died in 1940.
Some people are refusing to distrubute or use Gill Sans or anything else by Eric Gill
This is why

Warning, worse stuff in link than excerpt below which is bad:
The old controversy of should we shun creative works of the past because the creator was a "monster"? |
If the creator is dead, I don't care what they've done. I'll judge their works separately from the author's life, deeds and misdeeds.
After all, no one is perfect and we all have done things we regret (or should). Of course abuse, crime etc. should be condemned; but the creative works of the perpetrator should be judged on their own merit IMO.
