[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#590979: egoboo-data: contains non-free font

[Paul Wise]

Package: egoboo-data
Version: 1:2.7.7-1
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/egoboo/basicdat/Negatori.ttf
http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/fnt-888f8c2613b7a98ca3f990f7b16c0d31.html

This looks to be from here:

http://maxfonts.com/fonts/n/negatori.font
http://maxfonts.com/get.php?fid=2844

From the zip file:

/----------------------------------------------------------------
This font may be freely distributed and is free for all non-commercial uses.
\----------------------------------------------------------------

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://www.high-logic.com/
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.
