Let's not discuss to much of legal situation in this manner. If there
is a claim to be made by HITACHI, the burden shall be on HITACHI not
MUTO-san. Communicating with sufficient information is the burden
HITACHI shall bear.
Having said it, my conclusion is HITACHI did not provided sufficient
information to force Debian to stop distributing affected fonts.
But if they are super ugly fonts with no useful purpose, we may still
want to remove them no matter what HITACHI's claim. (If release rule
does not have this as a part of the current rule, we can add it.)
