Package: base-files
Version: 6.9
Severity: wishlist

Open Fonts License (OFL)[1] is most widely used license in fonts. This
is license is also considered as DFSG Free license [2].

Since many font packages use this license it would be easier for the
maintainer to just provide a link to the existing OFL file on a Debian
system than trying to include whole OFL text inside the
debian/copyright folder.

Please consider adding this license and make life of a font package
maintainer easy :-).
