Adonthell / Waste's Edge - Font packaging

[Mathieu Bridon (bochecha)]

Hi,

I saw that Adonthell / Waste's Edge was included in the Debian
repositories [1].

I'm doing the exact same thing, but in the Fedora repositories.

Recently, a bug was reported against my package, about the fact that
packages in the Fedora repositories should not bundle fonts [2].

After some investigations with Kai Sterker (Adonthell lead dev), I found
that the problematic font was:

/usr/share/adonthell/games/wastesedge/gfx/window/font/avatar.ttf

It comes from a Ultima fan site [3] [4].

The contact found on his page seems to be outdated (mail address doesn't
exist anymore).

The archive doesn't include any licensing information, which means it
could be non free (and thus should be removed from the Fedora
repositories, I suppose it is the same for the Debian repositories).

Do you have any idea about this issue ? How did you deal with it in your
packages ? Do you have any newer contact information ?

PS: I didn't subscribe to the list, could you include me in the
recipient of your replies ? In case I need to subscribe to the list,
tell me, I will do it then.
