[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#851112: gcstar: violates font license



Source: gcstar
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: license-violation
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org

Your source package contains an GPL/LGPL font:

share/gcstar/fonts/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf

This looks to be from here:

https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/

The font's source code appears to be here:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liberation-fonts.git/tree/src

Your source package does not contain the font source code, therefore
your distribution of the font constitutes a violation of the license.

Please notify your upstream that they are violating the font license.

Please remove the font from the source package and build-depend or
depend on the fonts-liberation binary font package instead.

Please contact your upstream and ask them to use fontconfig or similar
to get fonts for use by the software instead of using a specific font.
