[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#599059: merging Tuffy font fork

[Paul Wise]

Hi all,

Thatcher Ulrich (original author of the Tuffy font), meet Károly Barta,
author of the Tuffy font fork available here:

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Tuffy+family?content=123829

Debian GNU/Linux distributes the Tuffy font, more info here:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-tuffy
http://packages.qa.debian.org/ttf-tuffy

We would like to add Károly's work to Debian, but for that to happen, we
need his changes merged into Thatcher's version:

http://bugs.debian.org/599059
http://tulrich.com/fonts/

In order for that to happen, Károly needs to indicate that his changes
are released to the public domain:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599059#15

Once that is done, then Thatcher can merge them into his version, update
the font metadata (README, LICENSE etc) and then release a new version
which can be uploaded to Debian GNU/Linux.

After that, Károly can send updates directly to Thatcher for merging
into in-development versions.

Is the above plan acceptable for everyone?
