GPL and Vera License do not mix (the Vera license restricts the font naming, and forbids standalone selling, and the GPL forbids additional restrictions) Therefore, those fonts can not be shipped in Fedora, unless Bitstream agrees to relicence Vera under a GPL variant, or KACST/URW agree to relicence under the Vera license (or they all agree to relicence under some other license). Short term the best solution for upstream is to remove the vera bits from the mix. This is all very sad, and the reason why we ask new font projects to release under GPL + FE or OFL, and stop inventing new licenses (granted, OFL has been largely inspired by the Vera license, so Vera was a huge leap forward, even though it can not mix with GPL fonts) I'll be happy to re-review this package is the licensing problems are lifted, or any other font package you may wish to submit. It looks like you invested a lot of work in this package. Unfortunately for fonts checking legal is a good idea before looking at technical issues :( Please close this bug if you think the legal issues can not be lifted.
