Then we cannot distribute the document in Debian main, anyway. But of course we need a permission to distribute them (putting them on CTAN could also mean that you want them to be available only there, but not redistributed by anyone). That's just legalese crap^Wformalities, but that's how it is. Just answering "Yes, you have that permission" is probably sufficient, but in the long run such statement should be included in the fontinst distribution. > As for roadmap.eps, the diagram was presumably created by Alan Jeffrey > and has been part of earlier fontinst distributions since 1995. > > The orignal source of the EPS may have been created with xfig, since > the archive copy of fontinst-1.504 contains a file roadmap.fig along > with roadmap.eps, which can be found here: > > ftp://ftp.tug.org/historic/fonts/utilities/fontinst/fontinst-1.504/doc/ Ah, that's great. > Please let me know, if you need and further statement of clarification > regarding the licensing isseue. As for the documentation, only a formal statement that redistribution is unlimited (and I hope that also extends to the included fonts).
