Current File : //usr/share/doc/console-setup/copyright
This copyright file applies both to the source package console-setup
and the binary Debian packages built from it.
In short, if you use console-setup with precompiled keyboard files,
then all installed files are covered by simple permissive non-copyleft
free software licenses. However, several of the tools used for the
compilation of the package (in particular 'ckbcomp' and 'bdf2psf') are
covered by GPL, version 2 or later. The Perl program 'ckbcomp' is
installed in the system when console-setup is not used with
precompiled keyboard files.
The exact copyright terms follow.
All console fonts are public domain by nature.
The source BDF-fonts in the directory Fonts/bdf are distributed under
many different licenses, see in the file copyright.fonts for details.
The program 'bdf2psf' used to convert the fonts from BDF format to the
format used on the consoles of Linux and FreeBSD is covered by GPL,
version 2 or later.
The keyboard files are borrowed from the XKeyboardConfig package. For
the licenses of the keyboard files, see the file copyright.xkb. The
XKeyboardConfig package was downloaded from
http://xlibs.freedesktop.org/xkbdesc/xkeyboard-config-0.8.tar.gz
Please notice, that Debian packages do not include the XKB files (they
are provided by a separate package xkb-data). When, however, the
Debian package console-setup-mini is installed, it includes
precompiled version of the keyboard files, so the terms in the file
/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/copyright.xkb.gz apply.
