force-merge 720276 737720 thanks Quoting Fabian Greffrath (2014-02-06 07:12:09) > Nope, sorry, please see #720276. It seems to me that Charles and I are talking about "Homepage", where Denis and you are confusing that with "Canonical source URL". A Homepage is a URL considered the front page of the project leading to code, where the canonical source URL is a URL considered the master location for the code produced by that project. Some projects a) put the source at their Homepage, some b) have separate page for their source, some c) do not even have a web page for their source (but perhaps e.g. am ftp or git URL instead). Some projects d) produce code but discretely pass on that code to others for public distribution - examples of that is the (URW)++ fonts distributed via the Ghostscript project even though not produced by that project. It seems to me - and apparently to Charles as well - that this is a case of d) in that someone else than Google (who distributes the resulting code) ran the project to create that font family (possible paid by Google, and seemingly with passing over the ownership of the resulting code). Since that someone else has put up a website documenting the history of said font family (possibly with the intent to sell some "Pro" variant of the font), I find it appropriate for Debian to refer to the front page of that website as the "Homepage". For the record, I agree with Denis and you that at that alleged "Homepage" there is no direct link to any downloadable code (the closest is a page about the Android project, documenting how the font is included in that other project. For the record, I agree with Charles that the source URL which you seem to talk about is by Debian Policy dictated to be located in the copyright file - not the control file which is what we are talking about. Please consider reopening this bugreport, and please reconsider your judgement. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
