Henning,

There is no need to generate hypothetical problem scenarios.  Why else
do you think I sent this font to the list, with special attention on
that restriction?  Because the font as published will never go into
Debian, and the grml list reaches console users who might like it
anyway.  So, trying to be helpful here.  A "thank you" would be nice.

If he gets many requests for GPL|BSD|CreativeCommons|SIL licensing, then
he might consider it.  No more private cc's about Debian license
politics; that is why lists exist.  With so much free stuff on the web
under so many license arrangements, it's debatable what combination
minimizes "work".  Debian's Firefox debacle comes to mind.

He put endless hours of work into something provided free, which
deserves thanks.  Hat tip to Frugalware news #29 for spotting the font.

Mark
