I just referenced http://bugs.debian.org/1029555 in the lintian-overrides.

Already did so: http://bugs.debian.org/1029555

Someone should update the wiki page referenced by lintian:
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/type1nondfsg
I already replaced the links by links to archive.org (since the
original URLs are no longer existing), but maybe the sentence "Adobe
seems willing to relicense see mail here." should be updated pointing
to
https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/afdko/blob/develop/c/shared/source/t1write/t1write_hintothers.h
But I fear that I could make the page even worse, if I just change
it...
Greetings
Roland
