Package: widelands-data Version: build8-2 Severity: serious widelands-data contains the font file Knights.ttf, containing the font KnightsTemplar. "strings Knights.ttf" reveals that the font is by Iconian Fonts, for which Googling leads to http://www.iconian.com/ . The front page of that site says: > All fonts are e-mailware, meaning the fonts are distributed for free > personal use and for use by charities or non-profit organizations (as > these are generally, to me, noncommercial uses). Feel free to contact > me if you would like to use any of the fonts for commercial purposes. > I do ask that if you like any of my fonts, you please let me know by > e-mailing me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], hence the name "e-mailware". These > fonts may be freely distributed and may be included on any free font > archive site so long as the "readme" text file is not removed from > the ZIP file.

This does not satisfy the DFSG, as it requires contacting the author, and restricts types of use. This font should be removed from the widelands-data package as soon as possible, and replaced with some Free font. In the meantime, I'll try contacting the font designer, and see if they would be willing to permit use of that font under the GPL. - Josh Triplett
