Hi
All the licensing information is somewhat spread out in packaging guidelines needs to be consolidated to the licensing page in the wiki IMO. There are other repositories and distributions referring to the packaging guidelines or licensing guidelines and it would be useful for us to have a single reference. Also as discussed earlier, the following exception must be dropped from the exceptions section in the packaging guidelines as this is legacy information not applicable anymore.
"Some fonts are released as upstream as TTF only. These fonts are treated as content. When source code is available (like ?DejaVu), then the font must be built from source. "
It would probably be useful to put out a announcement of this change in fedora-devel-announce list that fonts must be free and open source too.
