Hello Joerg,13:46 < tarzeau> i have a small problem about copyright ftp-master handling understanding, how can fonts-pc be free, and fonts-amiga can't be accepted? 13:46 < tarzeau> https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/ the vga format file to be loaded by vga registers, does not hold a copyright, however the bios roms do, if they include the font data, or not, is out of my knowledge, and if bitmap fotns can be protected or not, as well 13:47 < tarzeau> i have this for reference: https://github.com/rewtnull/amigafonts/issues 13:47 < tarzeau> and now i could start dumping the already in main included fonts from .h files from libansilove (in the archive) and create another binary package of it called fonts-amiga (which could or not could be accepted by ftp-master) 13:47 < bremner> are you one of the maintainers involved? if so, reply to the reject message with your questions 13:48 < tarzeau> (using bdf2fnt and pstools it's easy to create vector fonts of the bitmap fonts) 13:48 < tarzeau> bremner: yes i got the ITP. i feel like i don't get heard, but i'll try once more
