Bug#694328: Please test if type1 fonts include copyrighted all right reserved by adobe code
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.2
Severity: wishlist
Type1 fonts made by fontforge include copyrighted code from adobe for type1 fonts hinting
It is quite easy to detect on lintian:
if the font is a type1 font:
file /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb
/usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb: PostScript Type 1 font program data
then dissassemble it:
t1disasm /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb
and then grep:
t1disasm /usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml/Symbol.pfb | grep -Pzo "(?s)\s*(Copyright.*Adobe Systems Incorporated\N[\r\n]% All Rights Reserved.)"
if grep is positive then likely we have a licence violation
see bug 665334 for background
