We are talking about 160 Lines of code. Adding a copy of the GPL would at least triple the size of the package. I'd suggest to relicense the package under X11 MIT license. Marcus, can you assert that all siginificant contributors approve such relicensing.

If the fonts show up in rpm -ql, so should their EULA. Christopher: rpm -ql does not make claims about package contents. It says what belongs to the package. (Which is very often the same, but not here). Size=0 is an indicator for this, although far to subtile to be useful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
