Though we obviously disagree with Debian on the meaning of the original
STIX license (Debians arguments were most unconvincing), we do agree
it's a badly worded license (writers of new junk font licenses should be
shot, I'm thinking about you GUST and you Liberation lawyers).
Fortunately upstream has promised OFL-ing "soon" ("soon" in STIX speak
is not the on timescale you're used to, STIX happens in a strange
slow-motion plane)
