Are you asserting that you know the origin of this font, and know that the copyright holder is not the same as that for the rest of the package? Otherwise, how do we know that this is a bug at all? FWIW, to me the word "freeware" means "free to use and copy, with no guarantee of permission to modify"; it in any case does not appear to contradict the license in the upstream README or in debian/copyright, so I can't see that we have grounds here for excluding this package from the release unless you have more explicit evidence that debian/copyright is incorrect. Though in investigating this bug, I find that the package incorrectly claims that version 3 of the PHP license is equivalent to /usr/share/common-license/BSD, which it most definitely is not, and this is an RC bug in its own right... -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
