Description Peter Hutterer 2021-04-23 01:06:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The daewoo-misc fonts are potentially proprietary, the only information in COPYING is:

"Copyright (c) 1987, 1988 Daewoo Electronics Co.,Ltd."

These fonts were first present in X11R5 (1991), see the fonts/bdf/misc/hanglg16.bdf file and similar. The COPYING file we use now is from the COPYRIGHT line in the .bdf file, other fonts (e.g. the schumacher ones) seem to have COMMENT: lines to explain the terms. 

I can't find any other information about license terms for this font but given the age of the copyright notice, I'm not very hopeful either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-fonts-7.5-30.fc34
