Hi


All the licensing information is somewhat spread out in packaging 
guidelines needs to be consolidated to the licensing page in the wiki 
IMO. There are other repositories and distributions referring to the 
packaging guidelines or licensing guidelines and it would be useful for 
us to have a single reference. Also as discussed earlier, the following 
exception must be dropped from the exceptions section in the packaging 
guidelines as this is legacy information not applicable anymore.

"Some fonts are released as upstream as TTF only. These fonts are 
treated as content. When source code is available (like ?DejaVu), then 
the font must be built from source. "

It would probably be useful to put out a announcement of this change in 
fedora-devel-announce list that fonts must be free and open source too.
