Description mejiko 2016-01-03 07:29:40 UTC 
Hello.

fontmatrix included non-free code, Please see Debuan bug number "787350" datails.
I think that this package be affected by debian bug number "787350".

and, "fontmatrix-0.9.99-Source/src/icons/action-copy-char.svg" license is CC-BY-SA.

I suggests that resolve license problem and add license tag.

Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.
Comment 2 Parag Nemade 2016-01-12 11:54:55 UTC 
Where can i find the debian lintian output for fontmatrix. The link given in that bug is pointing to freecad package?

What am I missing to find in source tarball that says those files are cc-by-nc-sa ?
Comment 3 Parag Nemade 2016-01-12 11:57:49 UTC 
huh! licensecheck command in Fedora is unable to check licenses on svg files. You are correct those files are cc-by-sa and cc-by-nc-sa files.
Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2016-01-14 07:31:50 UTC 
I can fix this by recreating svg files.
There is source information given in application-fontmatrix-vectors.svg and application-fontmatrix-systray-vectors.svg files. I will use those png sources and using convert command save them as svg files and package it under cc-by-sa license. I will then change the license tag to
GPLv2+ and CC-BY-SA

Does this look okay to you?
Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 14:12:20 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

mejiko, 
   You have not replied to my question in comment#4. This bug will open forever if I will not get your opinion.

I has two questions.

1) What is "png sources" ? (author, copyright owner, source infomation, etc ...)

2) Is "png source" licensed under ?


If 1 is clear and 2 is Fedora acceptable license (E,g GPL, CC-BY-SA, etc...), It is OK.

Comment 8 Parag Nemade 2016-08-08 07:33:26 UTC 
I revisited this and did not understand why I thought last time to convert svg to png sources.

The simplest solution is to remove those 2 problematic non-free source application-fontmatrix-vectors.svg and application-fontmatrix-systray-vectors.svg files. They are not getting used anywhere as long as I tried to test fontmatrix again.
