[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#891861: fonts-freefont: debian/copyright does not contain upstream licence

Package: fonts-freefont-ttf
Version: 20120503-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5

The “Licensing” paragraph of the upstream README file contains
the licence grant; in particular, it contains a GPL Font Exception,
but also differs in wording from what’s contained in d/copyright
(which also lacks the font exception).
