Hello Bastian and Sergei! That font is vendored into ExDoc and was vendored before the recent change to the license of Remix Icons. So they still fall under Apache 2.0.
I filed an issue with ExDoc to make this clear and possibly migrate away from Remix Icons in future updates so that they don't use icons under the not-as-free-but-still-pretty-free license. https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc/issues/2262 Lukas On Tue, Aug 25, 2026 at 3:17 PM Sergei Golovan <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Bastian, > > On Tue, Aug 25, 2026 at 3:43 PM Bastian Germann <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Package: erlang > > Version: 1:29.0.4+dfsg-1 > > Severity: serious > > > > Please document all of the contained files' licenses.
