Item5765: Unresolved license issue (TrueType fonts may not be redistributed)
Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release: n/a
Applies To: Extension
Component: ToPDFAddOn
Branches:
Unfortunately it seems that the versions of the TrueType fonts which are currently included in the add-on may not be redistributed anymore (cf.
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/), so they have to be removed
completely from the repository.
Since subversion is still missing an "obliterate" command, this is somewhat messy (svnadmin dump --> svndumpfilter --> svnadmin load, cf.
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#removal) ...
I'd suggest to include both a short README.TXT file in the fonts subdirectory (
draft attached) and a small note on the add-on page.
