I believe this font is postcard-ware, so does not follow the DFSG, so cannot be part of debian. cc'ing debian-legal to check. > * License: > > Font Computer Program License Agreement > > Reserved Font Names for this Font Computer Program: > TH Krub, TH Krub Italic, TH Krub Bold, TH Krub Bold Italic, > TH Niramit AS, TH Niramit AS Italic, TH Niramit AS Bold, TH Niramit AS Bold > Italic, > TH Kodchasal, TH Kodchasal Italic, TH Kodchasal Bold, TH Kodchasal Bold > Italic, > TH Sarabun PSK, TH Sarabun PSK Italic, TH Sarabun PSK Bold, TH Sarabun PSK > Bold Italic, > TH K2D July8, TH K2D July8 Italic, TH K2D July8 Bold, TH K2D July8 Bold > Italic, > TH Mali Grade 6, TH Mali Grade 6 Italic, TH Mali Grade 6 Bold, TH Mali Grade > 6 Bold Italic, > TH Chakra Petch, TH Chakra Petch Italic, TH Chakra Petch Bold, TH Chakra > Petch Bold Italic, > TH Baijam, TH Baijam Italic, TH Baijam Bold, TH Baijam Bold Italic, > TH KoHo, TH KoHo Italic, TH KoHo Bold, TH KoHo Bold Italic, > TH Fah Kwang, TH Fah Kwang Italic, TH Fah Kwang Bold, TH Fah Kwang Bold > Italic. This is a long list of reserved names. I don't know Thai words. Does anyone know if the names are words which would usually be used otherwise? If so, this is a significant restriction on derived works which would break DFSG 3 and/or 4. > This Font Computer Program is the copyright of the Department of Intellectual > Property (DIP), Ministry of Commerce and the Software Industry Promotion > Agency > (Public Organization) (SIPA) > > The purposes of this Font Computer Program License are to stimulate worldwide > development of cooperative font creation, to benefit for academic, to share > and > to develop in partnership with others. While not a DFSG problem, I think it's misleading to call this cooperative font creation when the sale restriction limits economic participation and the notification requirement means it is not autonomous.
