Until, then - I think we need to remove this > font from Debian. > non of my business but since the request to Karunakar has been made publicly here, i would state my opinion here... in true sense this font release conditions offers user more freedom than that available under any other license.. if one spend little bit more time thinking about it... eliminating this from debian or other linux distributions will simply make this more like MS Core fonts :-) Those who need it will have to get it from the "source"... to me the source of these fonts is internet.. not linux distribution nor windows os. |
