Re: pt-cyrillic-ttf license

  However, I bet that being one of most advanced font makers, ParaType
  will want to be the exclusive copyright holder in this case. Anyway,

Don't confuse choice/author of license and copyright holder.  By using
the SIL OFL, ParaType would remain as copyright holder of the fonts,
just as people who release code under GPL2 continue to hold copyright,
without any automatic assignment to the FSF.

  I wrote them an email where asked to consider using SIL OFL (which
  seem was used as base - PT Sans & Serif fonts license looks as
  excellent translation of the OFL in fact), or provide a pointer
  to English variant of the license at least.

  In case of negative result I think it would be good to import ParaType
  Open License in native (Russian) language.

So far all licenses in pkgsrc are in english.  I can see the point of
importing that one in Russian if that's all that is available, though.

Another issue, more for them than us, is how their fonts fare under the
Debian Free Software Guidelines.  A license only in Russian that hasn't
been approved as Free by FSF or Open Source by OSI will need a license
file and a tag that isn't in DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES even if the
authors intend it to be a free license.
