The inkscape "hershey fonts" plugin contains various fonts under the following license: > The Hershey Fonts are a set of vector fonts with a liberal license. > > USE RESTRICTION: > This distribution of the Hershey Fonts may be used by anyone for > any purpose, commercial or otherwise, providing that: > 1. The following acknowledgements must be distributed with > the font data: > - The Hershey Fonts were originally created by Dr. > A. V. Hershey while working at the U. S. > National Bureau of Standards. > - The format of the Font data in this distribution > was originally created by > James Hurt > Cognition, Inc. > 900 Technology Park Drive > Billerica, MA 01821 > (mit-eddie!ci-dandelion!hurt) > 2. The font data in this distribution may be converted into > any other format *EXCEPT* the format distributed by > the U.S. NTIS where each point is described > in eight bytes as "xxx yyy:", where xxx and yyy are > the coordinate values as ASCII numbers. > This has two problems: - The license isn't included in the copyright file. - This is a non-free license, because of clause 2. The fonts should be dropped from the inkscape binary and source package, and perhaps placed in a non-free `inkscape-hershey-fonts` package.
