Yesterday evening George Douros uploaded updated versions of almost every font I maintain, as well as the new "license": http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/License.pdf As you can see, there is no ambiguity, the text - despite its shortcomings - presents a number of obstacles to the inclusion of the fonts in Fedora (or pretty much any other linux distribution). I contacted him about adopting the OFL license, some other compatible license, dual-licensing, but he feels quite strongly about the non-commercial clause and apparently he is quite content with the scribble he's put together. His approach to the whole issue is rather sentimental (understandable up to a certain point) and the discussion quickly became heated, despite my efforts to tone things down and focus objectively on the issue. However, in his last message, he left open the possibility of negotiating a different license for/with Fedora Project, but I don't feel I am the right person to engage in any further negotiations with him. I thought about orphaning the packages, but as we discussed, there isn't any harm in letting them linger. If anybody else wants to take over, feel free to do so. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
