Quoting Guntupalli Karunakar (karuna...@indlinux.org):
I had met with font publishers again, their position is clear to keep
the status as is, with no change in terms and conditions. So I guess
font will remain as non-free for Debian.
Not remain, but become. The font is currently distributed in Debian
main....and should not.

To debian-in-workers: AksharYogini font is not "likely to be non
free". It *is* non free. Karunakar words are very clear about this.
The patch is trivial: drop it from ttf-indic-fonts and eventually
create a ttf-indic-fonts-nonfree source package with it included.
Again, something has to be done as this release critical bug is likely
to make the entire ttf-indic-fonts package dropped from Debian main,
which is certainly not what we want.
As I finally have some time again I was getting ready to write a nice
letter explaining why it is really in the designers best interests to make
their font truly free software but it looks like it's going to be
futile.
ttf-indic-fonts-nonfree it is.
