Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2012-12-05 21:04:10 UTC
The ebuild currently has LICENSE="as-is" which most likely is wrong.

The tarball contains several README and LICENSE files which are all in Japanese.
Please clarify under what terms this package can be distributed.

Thanks.

I think we can summarise it as LICENSE="mplus-fonts public-domain".
