It would be better to remove the embedded font copies from the upstream
source. You can then distribute the font source tarball and the source
for any other GPL software in separate tarballs, alongside any binary
packages for Windows or macOS. If you aren't distributing any binary
packages you wouldn't need to distribute any extra source tarballs.

Bug#851113: manaplus: violates font license

2017-01-11 Thread Paul Wise
Source: manaplus
Version: 1.7.1.7-1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: license-violation
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-fonts-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Your source package contains an GPL/LGPL font:

data/fonts/liberationsans.ttf
data/fonts/liberationsansmono.ttf
data/fonts/liberationsans-bold.ttf
data/fonts/liberationsansmono-bold.ttf

This looks to be from here:

https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/

The font's source code appears to be here:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liberation-fonts.git/tree/src

Your source package does not contain the font source code, therefore
your distribution of the font constitutes a violation of the license.

Please notify your upstream that they are violating the font license.

Please remove the font from the source package and build-depend or
depend on the fonts-liberation binary font package instead.

Please contact your upstream and ask them to use fontconfig or similar
to get fonts for use by the software instead of using a specific font.
