Nicolas,

Thanks, I got slaughtered by Barbarians on the bus >:-(

I don't get it: there's a debian/ subdir in the tarball.  It does 
not contain this patch.  It's not here[0] either.  I'm not 
familiar enough with Widelands/Debian packaging to know where else 
to look.  It's not the end of the world though.  It'll be gone by 
the next build.

From data/i18n/fonts/Culmus/TaameyFrankCLM-Bold.ttf (yes, I opened 
the TTF file in ‘less’, shoot me):

 Distributed under the terms of GNU General Public License
 version 2(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).

So GPL2-only.

> Also, Debian's copyright file considers it GPL2+.

Quite the opposite[1]:

 Files: data/i18n/fonts/Culmus/*
 Copyright: 2010 by Yoram Gnat (gyoramg <at> users.sourceforge.net).
 License: GPL-2

I'm not lawyerly enough to know if the combined work can be 
distributed as GPL2+.  I don't see how.  I'd love to be proved 
wrong!

Kind regards,

T G-R
