Package: unifont Version: 19990430-1 Severity: important The unifont package has always used Hangul Syllables glyphs generated from Hanterm fonts. Versions of unifont up to 1:1.0-4 also used glyphs from Hanterm fonts in the U+1100..U+11FF range. According to Debian Developer Changwoo Ryu, maintainer of bf-utf-source, xfonts-baekmuk, and other Debian packages, the Hanterm fonts were incorrectly listed in FreeBSD and elsewhere as being covered by the GNU Public License. Changwoo has told me that parts of Hanterm are covered under the GPL, but not the fonts. Concern over ambiguity in the terms of Hanterm font licensing resulted in their not being included in the hanterm Debian package.
Changwoo Ryu removed the existing Hangul glyphs from the file unifont.bdf in his bf-utf-source package, replacing them with Hangul Syllables glyphs in the public domain. The most expedient workaround to the Hanterm fonts license ambiguity for the unifont package is to incorporate Changwoo's Hangul Syllables block from the bf-utf-source Debian package.
