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.

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.
