Forgot the list was private. Posted to figlet mailing list: Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 08:28:28 -0700 From: Ray Van Dolson <rayvd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: figlet@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: [FIGlet] Licensing issues with figlet User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.19 (2009-01-05) Hello all; I'm trying to get figlet included in Fedora[1] but have run into a snag with the licenses of a couple of the source files relating to decompressing zipfiles of compressed fonts. Namely, crc.c, crc.h, inflate.c, inflate.h, zipio.c and zipio.h. It appears three of the files, chkfont.c, figlist and showfigfonts have no licensing notice at all in them. If there are any developers out there on this list, could I get some comments? * Can the zipfile related routines be relicensed? I imagine we'd have to contact the original author listed there for this, maybe he's on this list? I'll try the email listed there as well. * Could these routines be rewritten to use something free? Should be existing code out there that could be reused for this purpose. * Maybe we don't need compressed font files at all anymore, disk space is not as big of an issue these days. Thoughts appreciated. Please see the bz link above for comments and concerns. Also this[2] debian bug gives a bit more detailed commentary.
