Hi, I'm querying this list out of the need of adding a new license[1] for adobe-pcfi[2].
Suggested name for the license is adobe-pcfi. An other possibility could be Adobe-PCFI to better match other Adobe* licenses. The license would be added to the MISC-FREE license group. If you have any doubts let me know before I proceed in about a week. Thanks to ssuominen and robbat2 for their initial guidance. Cheers, Ralph. [1] https://github.com/jukka/pcfi/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENSE.txt [2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448532 A in-lined copy of the license follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================= PDF Core Font Information ========================= This package contains PDF font information files downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/font/#pcfi and elsewhere. See the individual files and the summary below for related copyright and licensing information. Any Adobe patents covering information in these files should be included in the patent pledge they have made to ISO for the PDF 1.7 standard. Here's what Adobe legal wrote when asked about this: "Adobe has provided a patent pledge to ISO which states that Adobe will grant a fee and royalty free license to an unrestricted number of applicants on a worldwide, non-discriminatory basis and under other reasonable terms and conditions to make, use, and sell implementations of PDF 1.7 (ISO 32000-1)."
