We also have essentially the same license with ttf-bitstream-vera. I'd
like to close this bug, but haven't had the time to make sure that I
have solid arguments as to why to do so.
Assistance putting enough of a case together for that would be
appreciated (and we can include it in the copyright file for future
reference)
Tks,
