Hmm, then it's not so interesting; if he uses parts of ExtA and ExtB to
create glyphs for ExtC from, let's say Microsoft's fonts, then there's no
way I can package it for Debian, not even in non-free, because, as you've
correctly mentioned, it's illegal.

What I could do, is write a HOWTO, just like I did for Cyberbit (which isn't
DFSG-free either), and either install it as a Debian README, or ask Werner
to upload it upstream.

Interesting!  I'll ask the authors if redistribution is possible.  But since
commercial use is excluded, it will be installed on Debian under the
"non-free" section anyway.

Best wishes

早歲那知世事艱,中垢北望氣如山。
樓船夜雪瓜洲渡,鐵馬秋風大散關。
塞上長城空自許,鏡中衰鬢已先斑。
出師一表真名世,千載誰堪伯仲間。
