Last I heard, the Open Font Licence got its name change clause (clause 3) wrong and prevents people making API-compatible new fonts based on OFL'd ones (that is, derived works cannot be drop-in replacements for an original). It goes far further in this restriction than the Bitstream Vera fonts, for example. The Bitstream Vera README tells you how to include a local.conf file to be a drop-in replacement, but that seems forbidden for OFL'd packages. The OFL FAQ claims it follows the DFSG, but DDs disagree. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/01/msg00454.html for example. Please do not upload OFL'd fonts to main for now. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
