I think the source itself can be free (and, hence, can be in a source package in main), but I don't think we should ship formatted versions of it except in contrib. Alternatively, one could replace the font selection with a free one in the Debian diff (assuming that does not lead to unsightly spacing disasters) and ship a version formatted with free fonts. > Assuming that the original author has the right to distribute and > let re-distribute PDF files using that font without limits, would it > be okay for main to distribute the compiled document (PDF) in the > binary package, and the sources in the source package? I don't think it's OK to ship anything in a main binary that cannot be recreated from source using tools in main. -- Henning Makholm "Det er jo svært at vide noget når man ikke ved det, ikke?" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
