Hi;
At first I thought this was a good idea, but looking at the commit, I have to
object. The fonts in the port (that come with GNU ghostscript) were replaced by
those used by AFPL ghostscript. Both versions, and their associated fonts have
different license and according to the AFPL license we are not allowed to
distribute them on the CD distribution.
" ... the AFPL license, unlike the GNU license, prohibits all commercial
distribution (unless you get a commercial license from Artifex Software Inc.,
which is currently the only entity authorized by artofcode LLC to grant such
licenses.)"
This also means the update done on the GNU ghostcript port some time ago is
wrong.
The fontconfig stuff (replacing the p5 script) is probably OK and the old URLs
should be updated too though..
cheers,
Pedro.
