Hello Guix Development,

Attached is my Guix package submission of Microsoft Cascadia Code
fonts.

This is my very first attempt to make a Guix package contribution and I
did this in less than 30 minutes, copying the package descriptions of
IBM Plex fonts and modifying a few things.   I dont' know what
protocols I may have missed 😅 

Would you please let me know how to proceed from here?

Regards,
Yasu

LGTM

small nitpicks:

* 80 columns (you can auto-format the code with etc/indent-code.el, this
is documented here:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Formatting-Code.html)

* I've not checked the difference size (nor that it matters) between zip
and tar.gz, you may want to use the smallest one to minimize download.

Thanks

I just did, and the tgz wins: 3.1 MB vs 5.7 MB

Hello Vincent,

there is no .tar of the fonts however, that's a source tarball
generated by github.  To be fair, one should probably build this font
(and other fonts) from source instead.  In particular, we might want to
package nerd-fonts[1] first, since Cascadia appears to be an iteration
of it.

Leo

Yes you're right, I did not look at the submitted scm hard enough to
see it.

Sorry for the noise.

Thank you for your comments!

Because I don't have a lot of time, is it ok to just re-format the original submission, get it committed with the comment that the package needs to be compiled rather than copied, when someone (or I) wants to so properly?

Cheers,
Yasu

Hi Yasu,

I don't think it'll be so simple.  It appears, that nerd-fonts already
includes – or at least has the potential to include – some non-free
glyphs, which would in turn then be part of Cascadia.  An instance
would be pomicons [1], which are licensed as CC BY-NC-ND.  A reviewer
would first have to verify, that Cascadia is indeed wholly covered
under the OFL or at least under a set of free licenses.

Yes, it sucks having to put that much effort into packaging a font, but
if you just want to have a workable font for programming, there are
probably better solutions than Cascadia, some of which are already
packaged in Guix – e.g. font-fira-code.

Regards,
Leo

Hi Leo,

Understood, and this level of scrutiny is actually an encouraging sign that Guix has standards! 😄

I am happy enough to have it this way for my personal use for now.  Later, when I have more time, let me revisit.   

I have not experimented with this yet but I also understand I can create a separate repository as well.   Maybe that will also do😄

Regards,
Yasu

I created a 'low-standard-guix' repository and moved the submitted
package there, for now :-)

https://github.com/yugawara/low-standard-guix/blob/master/README.md

Again, when I get time, let me see if I can properly package Cascadia
Code fonts!

Cheers,
Yasu

I might be wrong, but I thought fonts were considered non-functional data. If that's the case, isn't cc-by-nc-nd acceptable?

Well, let me know if that's the case!  After all, my submission is
almost identical as the existing packages such as font-ibm-plex and
font-inconsolata?
I would prefer not to "fork" as another repository if I can avoid it!

IIUC CC BY-ND would be covered if we indeed consider fonts to be non-
functional data, but not CC BY-NC and certainly not CC BY-NC-ND.

It goes on to list a hypothetical example of a game map, which is
somewhat ironic, considering that games more often disqualify
themselves for the FSDG through the use of entirely non-free assets or
assets rather than being GPL-incompatible through the use of assets,
that don't allow derivative work.  Of course, the former is a subset of
the latter, but the point I'm trying to make here, is that the latter
is sadly not even a concern for many (aspiring) game devs out there. 
It also reminds me, that I have yet to code up a fully GPL/FSDG-
compatible game myself – I'll get there some day, I promise.

TL;DR: Non-functional data is fine if it is commercially verbatim-
copyable.

Regards,
Leo

I see, thanks for correcting me!

Also, fonts are specifically listed as an example of functional data
according to the FSDG:
