Comment 1 Pravin Satpute 2010-02-25 07:00:48 UTC
I am fixing suruma license

about AnjaliOldLipi

I had some communication with upstream Kevin
and he says its GNU GPL, http://kevinsiji.wordpress.com/gnu-gpl/

so bit confusing right now, so for the time being i will remove this subpackage from smc-fonts, 
once license will be clear, we will add it again.

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2010-02-25 09:22:34 UTC
When the legal documentation bundled with a font says X, and upstream has confirmed by mail he wanted Y, you can add upstream's mail statement as %doc in the package (upstream should still fix its release, but that will give you more time)

For a practical examplesee the sniglet review request (a spot package, so he should know how to make legal stuff work)
