Hello Joerg,

13:46 < tarzeau> i have a small problem about copyright ftp-master 
handling understanding, how can fonts-pc be free, and fonts-amiga can't 
be accepted?
13:46 < tarzeau> https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ the vga format 
file to be loaded by vga registers, does not hold a copyright, however 
the bios roms
                  do, if they include the font data, or not, is out of my 
knowledge, and if bitmap fotns can be protected or not, as well
13:47 < tarzeau> i have this for reference: 
https://github.com/rewtnull/amigafonts/issues
13:47 < tarzeau> and now i could start dumping the already in main 
included fonts from .h files from libansilove (in the archive) and 
create another binary
                  package of it called fonts-amiga (which could or not 
could be accepted by ftp-master)
13:47 < bremner> are you one of the maintainers involved? if so, reply 
to the reject message with your questions
13:48 < tarzeau> (using bdf2fnt and pstools it's easy to create vector 
fonts of the bitmap fonts)
13:48 < tarzeau> bremner: yes i got the ITP. i feel like i don't get 
heard, but i'll try once more
