Re: X.org licenses

Here is what the description of xfonts-scalable in debian says:
 This package is missing three fonts from the X.Org source archives
 because the license terms on the fonts do not meet the Debian Free
 Software Guidelines; they are the Type1 fonts Adobe Utopia, IBM Courier,
 and Bigelow & Holmes (B&H) Luxi.

So I will drop Utopia also and go through all the licenses.

I reserve the right to err, however. For instance, font-bitstream-*dpi 
looks almost x11, except for the three words "and without fee", which make 
them non-free. On the other hand, font-bitstream-type1 has a different 
license, although as far as I can tell, it contains the same typeface in a 
different format...
