[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#470078: singularity: contains a non-free font

[Paul Wise]

Package: singularity
Version: 0.26a+r409-1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: non-free
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-fonts-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

Your package contains a non-free font:

/usr/share/games/singularity/data/acknowtt.ttf
http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/fnt-a1202434de296c853a31d3f8c56e04cf.html

This looks to be from here:

http://www.aenigmafonts.com/
http://www.aenigmafonts.com/fonts/fontsa.html
http://www.aenigmafonts.com/fonts/fonts/ab/acknowle.zip

From the zip file:

/----------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-The font(s) in this zip file were created by me (Brian Kent).  All
of my Fonts are Freeware, you can use them any way you want to
(Personal use, Commercial use, or whatever).

-If you have a Font related site and would like to offer my fonts on
your site, go right ahead. All I ask is that you keep this text file
intact with the Font.

-You may not Sell or Distribute my Fonts for profit or alter the font
file(s) [.ttf .fon] in any way without asking me first. I can be
reached at:
aefonts[AT]frontiernet[DOT]net
\----------------------------------------------------------------

This licence does not clearly allow all the DFSG-required freedoms:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

Please contact the font author and ask them to licence the font
under a DFSG-compliant font licence such as the OFL:

http://scripts.sil.org/OFL
http://scripts.sil.org/OFL_web
http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ_web

If they are not willing to do so or cannot be contacted, please remove
the font from the binary package and the source package and depend on
another font package or move the package to non-free.

Please contact your upstream and ask them to use fontconfig or similar
to get fonts for use by the software instead of using a specific font.
