Regarding the license, there are two types of pacakges 1. fonts-android[1] included the binary fonts, which is licensed under Apache-2.0. 2. fonts-source-sans-pro[2]/fonts-source-code-pro[3], which required proprietary Adobe ADFKO to be built from source. That makes not DFSG-compatible.
Google Noto fonts[4] is same with Adobe Source hans sans[5], it depends how Debian/Ubuntu pack the font as debian packages. If the package need to be built from source, then it need Adobe ADFKO, which make it not DFSG-compatible [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-android [2] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736680 [3] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736681 [4] http://www.google.com/get/noto/#/ [5] https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #736680 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736680 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #736681 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736681 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1346766 Title: Chinese in Ubuntu Touch should use Heiti style sans serif font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-touch-meta/+bug/1346766/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
