Well, if Canonical had agreed on fonts-ubuntu being non-free, it would have been sorted in the restricted pocket of the Ubuntu archive. But it's not. It's in main, i.e. the Canonical supported free software.

The change made as a "fix" of this bug was a pragmatic step to address the situation described above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754804 Title: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free Status in Ubuntu Font Licence: New Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When using vrms, it shows fonts-ubuntu package (and ttf-ubuntu-font- family) as a non-free package.
