Summary: Illegal GPL/Bitstream mixing
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567299
Summary: Illegal GPL/Bitstream mixing Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: paktype-ajrak-fonts AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Classification: Fedora
This font claims to be under the GPL, and incorporate Vera/Dejavu elements
Unfortunately the Vera License is not GPL-compatible. DejaVu additions are mostly in the public domain but separating them from the Vera core is not obvious and anyway what third-party fonts are interested in is usually the basic latin Vera core.
Therefore, unless upstream agrees to relicense the whole font under the Vera License, (assuming all the other parts in the font can be relicensed by upstream and are not derived from third-party GPL fonts) or drops Vera components from the font, we can not ship the result

--- Comment #1 from Pravin Satpute psatpute@redhat.com 2010-02-23 00:35:06 EST --- ohh, its serious issue since this is mistake from upstream itself i will try to update them on this, and will request to update there license or remove Dejavu shapes i think they can definitely get non-arabic glyphs from some other GPL fonts
alternately
i will ship back paktype-naqsh-fonts and paktype-tehreer fonts to previous version, where there was no license issues
and we will block ajrak fonts
