Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-13 11:55:31 UTC
The ebuild has LICENSE="freedist".

I see the following license embedded in Wangdi.ttf (which is more restrictive than "freedist", because of the "no charge" clause):

   This font may be freely redistributed as long as it is not
   modified, all notices remain intact and no charge is made for the
   font or copies.

I don't see a license for any of the other fonts, neither in the package itself nor on its homepage.

So this should be changed to LICENSE="all-rights-reserved free-noncomm" (plus mirror and bindist restriction).

Or maybe media-fonts/jomolhari is a free alternative, and dzongkha-fonts could be last-rited?
