It also violates section 6 of GPL (no further restrictions). + + That is why several GNU/Linux distributions exclude Agafari from the + release. To be on a safe side, SUSE even decided to repack any source + tarballs before putting it to their servers. + + This was probably reported to the former kbd maintainer about 20 years ago, + but nothing changed over years. + + That is why I recommend removing Agafari fonts and removing the reference + to them from README.Ethiopic. Alternatively, you can ask the Ethiopian + Science and Technology Commission for re-licensing. + +Signed-off-by: Alexey Gladkov <legion@kernel.org> + +Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/legionus/kbd/commit/b757e6842f9631757f0d1a6b3833aabffa9ffeee] + +[do_configure prepend added to remove binary files] + +Signed-off-by: Peter Marko <peter.marko@siemens.com> +--- + data/consolefonts/Agafari-12.psfu | Bin 7989 -> 0 bytes + data/consolefonts/Agafari-14.psfu | Bin 9013 -> 0 bytes + data/consolefonts/Agafari-16.psfu | Bin 10037 -> 0 bytes + data/consolefonts/README.Ethiopic | 5 ----- + 4 files changed, 5 deletions(-) + delete mode 100644 data/consolefonts/Agafari-12.psfu + delete mode 100644 data/consolefonts/Agafari-14.psfu + delete mode 100644 data/consolefonts/Agafari-16.psfu + +diff --git a/data/consolefonts/README.Ethiopic b/data/consolefonts/README.Ethiopic +index 7502722..2810797 100644 +--- a/data/consolefonts/README.Ethiopic ++++ b/data/consolefonts/README.Ethiopic +@@ -14,11 +14,6 @@ Ethiopic fonts: + restrictions below: + + +-Agafari: +- Donated by the Ethiopian Science and Technology Commission +- <ncic@padis.gn.apc.org> or <ncic@telecom.net.et> and may be redistributed +- for non-commercial use under Unix environments only. +- + Goha and GohaClassic: + Donated by Yitna Firdyiwek <ybf2u@virgina.edu> of GohaTibeb Associates + and may be redistributed without restriction under the GNU GPL 2.0. +-- +2.30.2 + |
