Juliank: yes, it should be s/you/who/. Sorry for this being unclear. At the moment there is a lot of speculation, and very little clear fact, or "specificality". I'm hoping that by noting contact where it has been made it may encourage others to contribute to this bug report with specific points or concerns. A couple of days ago I emailed ftpmaster@d.o to try and ascertain further information about the discussion that is referred to have taken place: to keep people updated—I have not had an answer the Debian FTP Team yet.
Other people have also asked about comment #13. To clarify, the DD in question hasn't posted here, although it would be preferable than attempting to paraphase . The lawyer (again, I don't know who) apparently concluded that the text indicated DFSG non-freeness, but did not give a stated on-paper legal opinion or reasoning or further information or anything that would help to narrow-down any concern. (To have got such would apparently have required an official client- relationship between the DD and lawyer, which does not exist). At the moment that means there is nothing/little to go on or to investigate the (as-yet) unspecified concerns because it's hard to have a conversation without definites. The latest comment on the Debian ITP is about an inability to rebuild the .deb package itself using only free-tools vs. whether the .ttfs are considered pure-data as in the case of many other libre (without source) fonts. There also has a bearing on which of Debian main/contrib/non- free the source could go into which depending on whether the preferred method of modification is the .ttf files or the .vfb (FontLab) files. Supplmental braindump: A further query has been raised by another party was about BSD 4-clause paragraph 3 (considered DFSG-free) and how that fits with the interim UFL-1.0 Section 2a/2c on well-known-name preservation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769874 Title: Naming restrictions in UFL considered non-free by Debian -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
