You should not trust the LINCENSE-ttf font. They refer to "Bitstream Vera
Fonts" but one of the included fonts do not belong to these.

data/skins/oily/robbo.ttf and data/skins/original/ robbo.ttf are the same font:
"ZapfHumnst L2 Bold Italic". It is "Copyright 1990-1996 Bitstream Inc.  All
rights reserved.". This is a nonfree font.

/data/skins/tronic/robbo.ttf is "DejaVu Sans Condensed". It is free (license is
Bitstream Vera and Public Domain) and it is already packaged in Fedora in the
dejavu-sans-fonts package. To use this font the packager should replace the
installed font with a symlink to the font provided by dejavu-sans-fonts.

More info about the legal status here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=553911

I know it is possible not to use the fonts and use a pixmap font that has no
licensing problem. You have to enable its use in the Makefile.

I think the game is even better because it has a better "retro" feel withe the
pixmap font. 

The (c) Bitstream fonts must be removed from the source in Fedora though.
