Description Lukas Schmelting 2025-03-06 15:23:18 UTC

There is an in progress PR for media-fonts/adwaita-fonts.

On one hand the meson.build file only mentions the license 'GPL-3.0-or-later'. 
On the other hand the files {mono,sans}/LICENSE.md, contain an 'OFL-1.1' license.

Since the package only installs the fonts covered by the OFL-1.1 license, it is not clear why there only is a 'GPL-3.0-or-later' license in the meson.build file and what is covered by it.

How do we want to handle this?

Since the package does not yet exist in Gentoo, this bug report cannot be properly assigned. Assigning it to the reporter.
