--- Comment #18 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> ---
Okay, so here's the situation.

In qtbase-everywhere-src-5.11.2/src/gui/text/qfontsubset_agl.cpp, there are
copies of data taken from the https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/agl-aglfn.

That data is identical to the data in the 1.7 version of the AGLFN. That data
is BSD licensed.

Thus, I do not believe any code change is necessary here (and the qt upstream
has already rejected a bug to move to reading in this data externally, since
this source code is already generated from the AGLFN txt file).

It would be appropriate for qfontsubset_agl.cpp to add a BSD license notice to
reflect the use of the AGLFN (and probably in a separate license file).

I've opened an upstream bug on this here:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70968

In the interim, the fix for Fedora is to include a copy of the AGLFN license in
qt5-qtbase (as %license). I will include that file for you here.
