[Trisquel-users] Re : Package non-free trisquel 9

[lcerf]

I read the discussions more carefully.  As far as I understand, the  
fundamental problem is the point 2.3 of the license.  It would impose my  
hypothetical "modified version which is not substantially changed" of "Ubuntu  
font" to be named, e.g., "Ubuntu font derivative Magic", to both retain the  
original name and to distinguish these derivative fonts from the original.   
According to Ejectmail on bugs.launchpad.net, a trademark policy could then  
additionally prohibits the use of the original name, thus creating a conflict  
with the license that effectively prohibits changes that are not  
"substantial".  Also, on Debian's mailing list, Joerg Jaspert notes
that the definition, in the license, of "Substantially Changed" is unclear.   
Since modified versions with "substantial changes" must not use the original  
name, it is a problem as well.

Sincerely, I am most concerned with the simpler problem: proprietary software  
is required to build the fonts.  It seems to be forgotten in the middle of  
the discussion of the technical legislative details related to the name  
changes.  Isn't everything in Trisquel's repository required to be  
"buildable" with only free software?
