By reading the package documentation once more, I have noticed that it would still be possible for
Novell (and by implication probalby its successor) to include these fonts within its distribution.
The English translation of item 3 of the copyright notice
3.Making use of founder fonts in any form in any non-commercial or commercial;
is wrong.
The original says
3．将方正字库以任何形式用于除Novell系列产品外任何商业的或非商业的软件或产品；
which means
3. Making use of founder fonts in any commercial or non-commercial product
except for the Novell system products.
Thus I think it would be appropriate for Opensuse to include these packages in the non-oss
repository once more.
