Package: tikiwiki
Version: 1.9.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

lib/graph2/ARIALDB.TTF contains a font named "Houndtime". This file is
binary-identical to the Houndtim.ttf file contained in the zip archive
at http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/gort/fonts/houndtme.zip

The ttf file's description reads "A standard "respectable" typeface".
The ttf file's copyright reads "Copyright (c) Bree Gorton at the Font
Farm, 2001. All rights reserved."

The only permissive notice I found is in the other file of the zip
archive, Read-Me.txt, which reads "This font was made by The Font Farm,
it's free to use."

As I see nothing that would allow redistribution, I assume that Tiki is
infringing Bree Gorton's copyright by redistributing this file.
As I see nothing that would allow modification of the font, I assume
that including this file in main violates policy 2.2.1.

If you believe that Tiki distributes the file legally but can't prove
it, you may contact upstream's Florian Gleixner who committed this file. 
Otherwise, it seems that replacing that file by a Free equivalent should do.

Note that there's still a good job to do to get all the borrowed code
properly acknowledged in debian/copyright. There's also IMO a huge job
to do to get the copyright on all the borrowed images. I guess you'll
have to request upstream's help with this if you want to get this package in 
testing
sometime.
