Re: [Development] Fwd: (QTBUG-46655) qt5base: font license files missing
Ok, given these extra votes, I've just submitted the removal right now and for 5.5.0: https://codereview.qt-project.org/114503 On Wednesday 17 June 2015 05:33:34 Knoll Lars wrote: Yes, let's remove them. The font files shouldn't be part of qtbase for sure. We might still decide to package up certain fonts in the Qt for device creation product, but that's totally separate and has nothing to do with our repositories.

I don't remember precisely, but most (if not all) were taken from whatever Linux distribution we were using at the time when Qt/Embedded was made (around 1999/2000). b) what licences apply to them? That should be the licenses contained in the Qt 4 repository. c) if those font files are still used in any version?

TL;DR: Nuke it from orbit. - Paul ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
