Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2024-05-12 14:27:56 UTC
Apparently the OFL license label for the SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.0 causes confusion. AFAICS 25 of the 29 packages with LICENSE=OFL are really licensed under OFL version 1.1 rather than OFL version 1.0.

Normally I am reluctant to suggest renaming of a license label, but I think in this case renaming from OFL to OFL-1.0 would be justified.

Packages licensed OFL-1.0:

   games-puzzle/zaz
   media-fonts/ekushey-bangla-fonts
   media-fonts/jomolhari
   sci-chemistry/pymol

Packages licensed OFL-1.1 (but labelled OFL):

   dev-ruby/font-awesome-rails
   dev-texlive/texlive-basic
   dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra
   dev-texlive/texlive-fontsrecommended
   dev-texlive/texlive-formatsextra
   dev-texlive/texlive-langarabic
   dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic
   dev-texlive/texlive-langjapanese
   dev-texlive/texlive-langkorean
   dev-texlive/texlive-langother
   dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra
   dev-texlive/texlive-publishers
   dev-util/android-studio
   dev-util/clion
   dev-util/goland
   dev-util/idea-community
   dev-util/pycharm-professional
   media-fonts/crosextrafonts-carlito
   media-fonts/fifth-leg
   media-fonts/oldstandard
   media-fonts/sil-padauk
   media-video/popcorntime-bin
   net-im/rocketchat-desktop-bin
   net-im/whatsapp-desktop-bin
   sci-misc/jupyterlab-desktop-bin

PR will follow. (Please don't update these yourself because it may cause merge conflicts.)
