Subject: imlib2: ships a shareware font and three suspicious fonts

Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 18:39:27 +0200

Package: imlib2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.1

   The font cinema.ttf (Cinema Regular, by Richard William Mueller) does
not have an associated license. According to a website that has this font
for download (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/mueller/index.htm)
Mueller's fonts are "shareware" and he requests $5.00 for registration.

   The fonts notepad.ttf (Notepad Regular) and grunge.ttf (Grunge
Regular) have unknown authors and licensing terms.

   The font morpheus.ttf, by Kiwi Media, comes with the request "If you
like this font, send me money. I ask $5 for this one." which is not
strictly speaking a "must do", but nothing grants the right to modify or
redistribute the font.

   The first font must clearly go. It would be wise to get rid of the
three others at the same time, and either replace or symlink them with
free fonts available in the various ttf-* packages.

The funny part is the fact that the fonts are neither used nor included
in the Debian packages. Removing the fonts from the upstream archive
is trivial.
