Package: fonts-osifont
Version: 0.1.20230322+ds-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.5/12.5

Dear Maintainer,

The package ships osifont.ttf and osifont-italic.ttf.
According to upstream (https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont/)
the license is different for the differnt fonts according to their
name:

> osifont is available in 3 different licenses:
> 
>    osifont.ttf - GNU GPL licence version 3 with font exception
>    osifont-gpl2fe.ttf - GNU GPL licence version 2 with font exception
>    osifont-lgpl3fe.ttf - GNU LGPL licence version 3 with font exception

The current d/copyright does not differentiate, it claims all three
licenses for the osifont.ttf.

Upstream confirmed license:

https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont/issues/23#event-15790575391

Question:
"Hi,

while packaging FreeCAD for Debian I cam across the fonts-osifont
package for Debian and found that the file osifont.sfd is not clearly
licensed and to avoid DFSG problems I'm reaching out for clarifcation.
This issue is tracked at Debian Bug #1091082

IIUIC the license is applied when running generate.sh by replacing
LICENSE_PLACEHOLDER in osifont.sfd. However this does not specify the
license for this file, so I assume the license for this file is the
three licenses options "ored", like

GNU GPL licence version 3 with font exception  OR
GNU GPL licence version 2 with font exception OR
GNU LGPL licence version 3 with font exception

I'd appreciate if you could confirm my understanding, so that I'll be
able to fix the Debian bug.

TIA! (and many kudos for the font!)"

Answer:
"Yes, you can pick one of the 3 licenses, the script itself also have
one of the three licenses"
