Claudio has a git repository at https://github.com/cmatsuoka/figlet I did a quick review on fonts headers, and Claudio will add the LEGAL NOTICE file commented in fonts derived from Bigelow & Holmes ones. But I am unsure about this in the file being added: A royalty-free, nonexclusive trademark license to refer to the code and output as "OPEN LOOK" compatible is available from AT&T if, and only if, the appearance of the icons or glyphs is not changed in any manner except as absolutely necessary to accommodate the standard resolution of the screen or other output device, the code and output is not changed except as authorized herein, and the code and output is validated by AT&T. Bigelow & Holmes is the owner of the Lucida (R) trademark for the fonts and bit-mapped images associated with the materials on this tape. Users are granted a royalty-free, nonexclusive license to use the trademark only to identify the fonts and bit-mapped images if, and only if, the fonts and bit-mapped images are not modified in any way by the user. The large C64-fonts subdirectory of the contrib fonts may have issues, as all it says is: NOTE: I got the font from a Commodore 64 charactor set file. (Wrote a little program to convert them to Figlet). And since some charactors are different in PETSCII then in ASCII, certain charactors will be different or even non-existant. Such as `~{}\| _^ Most other "artistic" fonts come from usenet posts with the font contents, with some interesting ones, like: 3x5 font by Richard Kirk (r...@crosfield.co.uk). Ported to figlet, and slightly changed (without permission :-}) by Daniel Cabeza Gras (ba...@dia.fi.upm.es) Otherwise, most if not all have an explicit clause of free to modify, relicense, resell. Others are explicitly public domain, or have only author name. I suggest not adding the contributed fonts to the main package and having a plain figlet with only the upstream fonts, and at your interest, making yet another figlet-fonts package and getting legal review of it. About figlet.spec I think you should remove the shell script commented and the %defattr commented. Not agains't comments, but comments should be for some explanation about the reason of next code, information about generated files, etc. As commented previously, you could change: %dir %{_datadir}/%{name} %{_bindir}/* %{_datadir}/%{name}/* to %{_datadir}/%{name} %{_bindir}/* but either way works; some like to add a slash to the end to make it easier to notice it is a directory listing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
