Hi,

I tried to package php-text-figlet in Debian, and here was the rejection
message from the FTP-Masters (see below my own message).

I agree with the decision of the Debian ftp-masters, and I need to know
before being able to try submitting my package again:
- Who wrote Text_Figlet-1.0.1/Text/Figlet.php ? (name and email address)
To me, it is:
# "Eugene Stepanishchev" {<imb...@gmail.com>,<s...@lixil.ru>}
# ICQ: 2993333 Jabber: b...@yandex-team.ru

Eugene, can you please add me on ICQ? My ID is 210468856.

- In the fonts folder, I could see these files:
3-d.flf
alligator2.flf
bell.flf
block.flf
contessa.flf
cybermedium.flf
isometric1.flf
larry3d.flf
script.flf
slant.flf

I saw that so many more (420 fonts...) are available here too:
ftp://ftp.figlet.org/pub/figlet/fonts/

all of the above .flf files are embedded in your PEAR package. Can you
tell what are the individual copyrights for each of these files, so the
Debian ftp-masters can accept the package? If so it would be great to
document all this. If you don't know under what license these fonts are
redistributable, I would strongly advise that you remove them from your
package.

Please let me know.

Thomas

Hi,

Thanks for your time checking it. I used what I saw here:

http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Figlet

which was wrong information (if you say so).

I'll check more carefully each files, correct debian/copyright and reupload.

Please stand-by checking php-text-captcha which depends on php-text-figlet.
