Description df 2011-12-05 18:07:42 UTC

"mplus-fonts" license is completely free license I think.

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/licenses/mplus-fonts?revision=1.1
http://sourceforge.jp/cvs/view/mplus-fonts/mplus_outline_fonts/release/LICENSE_E?revision=1.7&view=co
# should be updated license file?

Please review and add it to free license group.
# Is it okay to add GPL-COMPATIBLE?
# I thought it was acceptable to add MISC-FREE at least.


Reproducible: Always

GPL-COMPATIBLE contains only licenses that have been approved by the FSF.

However, we can add it to the MISC-FREE group.

Added to MISC-FREE.
