Hi List,
Since 10.1, we have one of the best Chinese fonts -- Founder fonts (a.k.a FZSongTi, FZHeiti .etc), but since 11.1, these fonts could not be found from iso/meida anymore.
Does anyone know why the fonts are removed (or I missed something)? Thanks.
Just read the license as you know chinese.
Hmm, I did not find the chinese version, but from english version, the license only mentioned "will not use or transfer openSUSE 11.1 for use in any sensitive nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology end-uses unless authorized by the US Government by regulation or specific license", not including a commercial chinese font :)
From here I find something reasonable, http://zonker.opensuse.org/2008/11/26/opensuse-sports-a-new-license-ding -do ng-the-eulas-dead/
Founder fonts are not permitted to be re-distributed by end users, so I understand why it gets removed from main DVD media.
Sorry, I'm not talking about openSUSE but about founder license.
Oh, I see, thanks :) But after browsing founder website, I did not find any license related information. If you saw that before, could you please tell me the URL ? Or anyone else knows the license, please tell me.
Wish no NDA needed for reading the license.
Coly, commercial license are difficult. The license we have puts some restrictions on us and we have removed packages from our media and ftp repository which had some bad restrictions like not being allowed to redistribute a package (this would make it impossible for users to give away an ISO or for admins to mirror the ftp tree). I'm not sure what the actual problem is of this specific package, we might have a contract that does not even allow us to state this ;-( Sorry, some licenses are too much trouble and limit our abilities to make openSUSE successful and therefore we will not anymore distribute them, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
