As far as I can see the bundled fonts do not become a GPL violation if they are not wrapped inside the binaries. But their inclusion is certainly not DFSG compliant, which Debian and Ubuntu packages in the "main" repository must be. > The guy claims cinelerra is using M$ fonts which aren't GPL, It is, and that is really simple to verify: strings -f /usr/lib/cinelerra/fonts/*.ttf | \ grep "Microsoft Corporation.

There are other licences cited there, and they need to be DFSG compatible. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
