Interesting, I saw that package in Debian (also Spyder is there) and
assumed it was free.

Upon inspecting the Debian package further I found that it sets the
SYSTEM_FONTS variable. Those fonts are in the packages
fonts-elusive-icons and fonts-font-awesome, the latter having the version
"5.0.10+really4.7.0~dfsg-4.1". Seems to be a way to pretend that
fontawesome4 is fontawesome5.

Maybe we can do something similar, but I do not have the time to
investigate this for now. Could the patches not related to spyder be
applied in the meantime? I can send a v2 with a selection if that makes
it easier.
