Possibly, yes. There's also un-fonts-extra in gentoo which is
puzzled together from gnu:// and one other mirror. un-fonts-extra
is not on kldp.net.
I will rename the package to font-un-fonts-core

Indeed, and this is the issues I have too and would have
submitted it as GPL too, if it wasn't for the following.

I am not capable of reading the kldp.net website (at the time of
writing), but rekado seems to be. quote from earlier conversation:

"" Upstream[1] says this about the license:
""
""   2 저작권
""
""   은글꼴의 저작권은 GPL + (문서/이미지에 대한)embed 예외 조항이 포함되어
""   은글꼴을 사용한 출판 및 디자인에 대해 상업용,비상업용 목적으로
""   사용하는 데에 아무런 문제가 없습니다.
""
"" [1]: http://kldp.net/projects/unfonts
""
"" If I understand correctly, this means that the fonts are released under
"" GPL + embed exception (for documents / images).  README.Debian seems to
"" be outdated.  The upstream note is from 2012/12/29.

" Oh, that's good news, thanks.
" As (license:) for the package, is it still gpl2 or is this GPL +
" something I could find in fonts.scm ?

I did not see any restriction to a particular version of the GPL, but I
didn’t look very carefully.  If no particular version is mentioned you
can just use “gpl3+” (because “GPL” means “any version of the GPL”).
Add the embed exception in a comment above the license field.

I do suggest you check the sources once more, though.  Just grep for
“GPL” and see if they mention the GPL version.

~~ Ricardo

"" end quote.
Somebody in the older thread of the unfonts mentioned that it
should be gpl2+, so maybe someone could read into that again and
figure out if 2 or 3 applies?


Thanks for the input,
