Bug Description

Binary package hint: empcommand

Even though the font uni05_53.ttf is stated to be 'free to use in commercial or personal work' and a mail states that it can be distributed along empcommand, the font can't be considered of public domain.

Some samples are stated to be PD, but the source has unclear sentences regarding the fact that the samples might have been fetched from the internet.

Moreover cc-sampling+ is not dfsg friendly.

Hi OXullo,

The debian changelog has 'Closes: #749755' instead of 'LP: #749755'. 'Closes' is used to reference Debian bugs, so this could trample over an unrelated Debian bug when the changes are merged back to Debian. Please fix this up and attach new source package files.

Thanks!

Thanks OXullo, looks good I've sponsored the upload.

Btw, one thing I like to do when merging in new releases (but totally not required) is list a few noteworthy features, so users looking at the changelog will know what they're gaining from it.
