violates font license
Hello,
I'm the maintainer off gcstar at Debian.
I forward this bug[1]:
Source: gcstar
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: license-violation
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-fonts-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Your source package contains an GPL/LGPL font:
share/gcstar/fonts/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
This looks to be from here:
https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/
The font's source code appears to be here:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/liber … t/tree/src
Your source package does not contain the font source code, therefore
your distribution of the font constitutes a violation of the license.
Please notify your upstream that they are violating the font license.
Please remove the font from the source package and build-depend or
depend on the fonts-liberation binary font package instead.
Please contact your upstream and ask them to use fontconfig or similar
to get fonts for use by the software instead of using a specific font.
This message is brought to you by the Debian Fonts Task Force:

We have a freeze in this month.
