Bug 698050 – media-fonts/vc-fonts: incorrect LICENSE

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2019-10-19 16:08:52 UTC]

The ebuild states GPL-2.  However, none of the files have any specific license embedded, and the homepage is gone.  This probably means all-right-reserved, and mirroring restriction.

FWICS the main archive can be downloaded from here:

and the .pcf version of bleed2:

But I can't find the .bdf version.  I suspect it might be of Gentoo making.
