Licensing Information in Metadata
The "copyright notice" field (tag #0) of the "name" table of TTF and OTF files MUST be populated and contain accurate information. Additionally, if information is provided in the "license description" (#13) or "license info URL" (#14) fields are populated, the information contained therein must also be accurate. You can use ttname
to review the metadata included with the font to check it for accuracy.
If the metadata is incorrect, packagers should work with upstream to ensure the metadata is properly populated there, so all users of the font can benefit from the corrections. If upstream is non-responsive or you are waiting on a new release for the corrections, you can also use ttname
in %prep
to correct the metadata for the Fedora package.
