Bug#401325: Potential non-free afm files in OpenOffice package
Am Mittwoch, 6. Dezember 2006 08:12 schrieben Sie: These are probably the same AFM files that were relicensed by Adobe in the Public Domain (essentially) in spring. They can be downloaded from ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/adobe/afm/Adobe-Core35_AFMs-314.tar.gz. No, they are not. e.g: ~/OpenOffice.org/OOE680/psprint_config/configuration/afm$ md5sum Courier-Bold.afm fc8048ff93479289d824937b25bea84c Courier-Bold.afm ~/Adobe-Core35_AFMs-314 md5sum Courier-Bold.afm 58e0566c5e2a1a62756a57a100a62dc3 Courier-Bold.afm ~/Adobe-Core35_AFMs-229 md5sum Courier-Bold.afm aa3007a9076dea36db4fabe2a36ed463 Courier-Bold.afm But those files probably can be replaced by the new, apparently free ones. The files still contain the All rights reserved header, but there's a file MustRead.html which contains , | This file and the 35 PostScript(R) AFM files it accompanies may be | used, copied, and distributed for any purpose and without charge, with | or without modification, provided that all copyright notices are | retained; that the AFM files are not distributed without this file; | that all modifications to this file or any of the AFM files are | prominently noted in the modified file(s); and that this paragraph is | not modified. Adobe Systems has no responsibility or obligation to | support the use of the AFM files. ` Some more information about the relicensing might be available in the archives of tex-live, http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/. Werner LEMBERG wl at gnu.org took care of that. So it would not have been necessary to remove them, I think. Wrong. (See above). Of course, we could readd the new ones, but the old ones had to be removed. Regards, Rene -- .''`.
