Since this is (at present) only an uncertainty with no particular evidence that they aren't free, this is also not an RC bug. Hm, well, the fonts claim to be TimesNewRomanPSMT and similar, the MT probably stands for MonoType. I have never heard that these fonts are available freely (as in speech) anywhere. But I'm not going to argue with RMs here. It also does not contain any information on the copyright of the Debian packaging and, more severely, no information on the download location. I assume it is http://ssw.jku.at/Coco/. However, this is an RC bug. The md5sums of the files on that site are the same as the ones in the package. So I guess this bug could just be fixed by adding the information in the copyright file? Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.

If there is a reason to think they're not freely distributable, then that is of course an RC bug as well.

Yes, it appears so. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/

If there is a reason to think they're not freely distributable, then that is of course an RC bug as well. I must correct what I wrote in the last mail. The Times, Courier and Arial fonts are *not* embedded, it just takes the ones that the PDF viewer provides. Embedded are only Wingdings-Regular, SymbolMT and a Courier variant. There are in fact DFSG-free fonts called Courier, and I'm unsure about Monotype Symbol. I would be surprised if there was a Wingdings font that is DFSG free, but I won't swear on that. And anyway, I guess all these fonts are distributable. They are just not modifyable. Again, I'm unsure what that means for etch.

Package: coco-doc Version: 20060919-1 Severity: serious This package includes two PDF files, UserManual.pdf and DataStructures.pdf, without corresponding sources. According to pdfinfo, the sources are Microsoft Word documents; this is not nice, but it is definitely preferred to directly editing a PDF document. I'm also not sure whether the embedded fonts are free. It also does not contain any information on the copyright of the Debian packaging and, more severely, no information on the download location. I assume it is http://ssw.jku.at/Coco/.
