Bug#4696: Incorrect font files generated

I'm not the relevant Debian TeX maintainer, but is it the case
that the DC fonts have a different copyright from the CM fonts?
I've been told that this is so, and the the DC copyright is too
restrictive for Debian to put it into the main distribution
(instead it goes to non-free). However, I have not had time to
check this, so this is just a rumor.

Rainer, do you know what the situation with the copyright is?
A confirmation, either way, would be nice.

Since I write a fair amount of text in both Finnish and Swedish
(the languages of my parents), which both require the DC fonts,
this affects me directly.
