Hi list, I'll adopt and continue to maintain those ttf-arphic-* packages under pkg-fonts-devel umbrella with Arne's help and close related wnpp bugs. (especially who has knowledge about Chinese font are welcome).
Arne told me about those fonts are updated, but with non-DFSG-free license. http://www.arphic.com/cn/news/2010/20100420.html (in Chinese) The new license is here, rar archived Microsoft word file ;) http://www.arphic.com/tw/download/public_license.rar I put it converted to text http://www.mithril-linux.org/~henrich/debian/ARPHIC_PUBLIC_LICENSE_20100309.txt In that text, >0. Definitions: (snip) > "Freely Available" means that you have the freedom to copy or modify > the Font as well as redistribute copies of the Font under the same conditions > you received but only for non-profit purpose. "but only for non-profit purpose", this is violated DFSG (5). >1. Copying & Distribution > You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of this Font in any medium, > without restriction, provided that you retain this license file > (ARPHICPL.TXT) unaltered in all copies but only for non-profit purpose. I cannot find ARPHICPL.TXT in rar archives ;), anyway "but only for non-profit purpose" is there, too. So, newer Arphic fonts are not able to be distrubuted in Debian (sadly). We should stay current version in Debian. -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/org http://wiki.debian.org/HidekiYaman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
