[opensuse-m17n] ancient-fons
Hi all. Since my transition from Debian to openSUSE there is a package I have missed a lot (ttf-ancient-fonts). Now I'm trying to package it and submit to the m17n team. I know in openSuse each fonts must have its own package, but the trouble here is the licensing. In the upstream home page[1] the fonts are released in a custom license: "Fonts in this site are offered free for any use; they may be opened, edited, modified, regenerated, posted, packaged and redistributed." But the wiki[2] says that only software licensed by an OSI approved license should be uploaded.

This license is basically less restrictive, and I don't think this is limited for openSUSE, as we have already such packages. Use 'Public Domain' for the license tag. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org
