[Pkg-fonts-devel] license violations with embedded binary copies of GNU FreeFont?



Hi all,

Looking at the pkg-fonts review page I see quite a few GPL/LGPL fonts
and I was wondering if anyone has done any investigation as to how
many of these are GPL violations, given that people usually only embed
copies of TTF files and not their fontforge or other source?

As an example, this appears to be a license violation:
