Bug#673096: [FIGlet] Figlet Font Licensing
Jonathan McCrohan scripsit:

Those should simply be replaced by the verbatim contents of the
corresponding files at http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/ISO8859 .
In addition, the jis0201.flc file should be replaced likewise by
the verbatim contents of
http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/JIS0201.TXT .
(Don't worry, the mapping is not obsolete; that's just a hint that Unicode
Inc. isn't maintaining these files -- but this one doesn't actually need
any maintenance.)
The other *.flc files were written by me (or Glenn and me, in the case
of upper.flc), and should be under the same license as FIGlet itself.
