[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#851115: pcs: violates font license

[Paul Wise]

Source: pcs
Version: 0.9.155-3
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: license-violation
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-fonts-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

Your source package contains an GPL/LGPL font:

pcsd/public/css/LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf
pcsd/public/css/LiberationSans-Italic.ttf
pcsd/public/css/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
pcsd/public/css/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf

This looks to be from here:

https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/

The font's source code appears to be here:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liberation-fonts.git/tree/src

Your source package does not contain the font source code, therefore
your distribution of the font constitutes a violation of the license.

Please notify your upstream that they are violating the font license.

Please remove the font from the source package and build-depend or
depend on the fonts-liberation binary font package instead.

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.
