Partialy, Yes.
This package provides methods String <-> Unicode font mapping,
e.g. :
Emoji.find_by_unicode("\u{1f604}")
Emoji.find_by_alias('smile')
These methods don't need actual emoji {font,image} sets and codes are
under MIT/X11.
But gemoji provides installer which install all (include non-free)
images into the directory user wants. This methods needs actucal emoji
image sets.
Thus, I plan to create two package, one is string to unicode mapping,
another is installer for the user who want to use original, non-free
image sets.

Yes I konw. But I don't need real {font,image} sets, for new upstream release "tDiary".
Hmm...

I agree. I think so, and I'll contact upstream.
