better to use ${INSTALL_DATA} here (and split the long lines).

we're trying to be more specific these days (v2 only/v2+/v3+ etc).
people always need to double-check themselves if they're in a situation
where it matters, but it helps e.g. embedded system developers avoid
wasting time on something if they can easily see it has a license they
can't use.
...and here is the sticky point: dvd-slideshow-themes contains fonts
where permission to redistribute has not been granted.
e.g. the URL pointed at as the source of the "bip" font gives a zip
which includes a font (not the same as bip.ttf included here) and a
text file with this content:
This is a demo of a "BIP" font. The full version got accents
and euro. If you want to purchase the full version please
contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the Copyright notice, and "All rights reserved" rather than a
license explaining what is permitted, means we cannot distribute
this font.
JOURNAL.TTF on the claimed source website is distributed in a zip
file with no text attached. no license to distribute.
the audio files in dvd-slideshow-examples have a similar problem.
as things stand we can't distribute the themes/examples.
(and nor can sourceforge, but they do not seem to be good at
checking this).
sometimes it's possible to educate upstream about this (then
they could either attempt to gain proper permission, or switch
to truly free content), other times they will just say "yeah
whatever" and do nothing...
