Why do the files need to be made writable for install?

The description should consist of full sentences. Note that Nerd fonts
pulls in icons that are licensed under CC BY-NC-ND, which makes them
unfree. I'm not sure if those icons are present in the default
distribution, but I'd hazard a guess that they are.
More concerningly, the patches that can be applied via nerd fonts are
directly coded into their font-patcher, rather than, say, distributed
as a json file to be read separately. As far as I'm aware, this makes
nerd-fonts (the tool) itself NG.
Cheers

Hi,
I'll have a look on the licensing. It's not worth the effort if this is non free.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,
been hunting down licenses. most seems compatible, but some I could hunt
down.
Each font has it's license, and every additional glyph has it's own
license. Even nerd-fonts git is unclear on licensing of the patched
fonts.
I've been also looking at which distro package this library and it seems
only available in arch AUR.
With all that in mind, it does not look like it's realistic to package
this in guix.
thanks,
Benoit
