Hello, Can you delete ttf-formata [1]? I've uploaded the font, but did not give attention to the license. I'm not sure if I can redistribute this (pretty sure don't). Sincerely, [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-formata/ --- *Gabriel B. Casella http://gbc921.github.io/* "Nothing is impossible, impossible just takes longer" -- --- *Gabriel B.

That's the thing about the AUR, you're not redistributing it. You're just providing a link to it and a method of installation.

The package was downloading the font from his own github repo, so he *is* redistributing it. Not to mention that the font is actually a commercial font that has a price tag in the descriptive url. Regards, Felix Yan

So, techinically, if I can get this font by a third-party website that offers it for free, to personal use, can I pack? --- *Gabriel B. Casella http://gbc921.github.io/* "Nothing is impossible, impossible just takes longer" On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 12:38 AM, Doug Newgard wrote:

You can if it's hosted legally. The AUR is not a place to post links to pirated software.

You can package it for yourself but you aren't allowed to post the PKGBUILD to the AUR unless you get permissions from the ones that own the copyright of the font. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 3A9D0BB5

There's no problem for providing PKGBUILD in AUR as long as it does not download from an illegal source or otherwise advertise illegal activity. You can always create a PKGBUILD that states only the file name in the source array and which requires users to manually download the file. There are many PKGBUILDs that does that. An interesting solution is used by many packages for games from the Humble Indie Bundle: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?K=-hib Lukas On Fri, May 2, 2014 at 4:35 AM, Gabriel B. Casella wrote:
