bmonofont-i18n.ttf is one of the international fonts, so its license file (LICENSE-bmonofont-i18n.ttf.txt) is needed only when WITH_INTERNATIONAL is ON. > As for bfont, it's license is also included.

In cases font is bundled into executable, the font data part of the executable can be considered as a derivative of the font software, so restrictions of the font license should be inherited. GPL doesn't allow any further restrictions without additional terms. > Anyway, it was bundled like this since ancient > ages and never caused issues. There has been the issue since ancient age indeed, but no one was aware of that until I pointed out. Ton, did you investigate this issue?
