I changed the license URL to
http://font.ubuntu.com/ufl/ubuntu-font-licence-1.0.txt and applied it.
Thank you!

Hi, sorry this is a bit late, but:

That last "/" should have been a ".".  Oh well.

The patch labelled this license as 'non-copyleft', but I'm not sure
that's right.  It includes this text:

  4) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
  must be distributed entirely under this licence, and must not be
  distributed under any other licence.  [...]

So this ensures that additional restrictions cannot be added later, like
a copyleft license.  I'm not entirely sure it's a free software license
as indicated by 'fsf-free' either, but that's okay because fonts qualify
as non-functional data.  It might be that we don't yet have anything in
(guix licenses) that applies here.  Maybe we need another
license-producing procedure for non-functional works that satify the
FSDG requirements?

Oops. my bad.

Good point.

Why?

Right, that’s something we could do in this case.  I’d be surprised if
this one were not considered FSF-free though?

Thank you,

The main thing that worries me is this combination of facts:

1. The license requires that both original and modified versions "which
   are not Substantially Changed" must retain the original name, which
   in this case contains "ubuntu".

2. The license explicitly says: "This licence does not grant any rights
   under trademark law and all such rights are reserved."

3. Ubuntu trademark policy, which states, among other things:

   * You can use the Trademarks, in accordance with Canonical’s brand
     guidelines, with Canonical’s permission in writing.  If you require
     a Trademark licence, please contact us (as set out below).

   * You cannot use the Trademarks in software titles.  [...]

Here's a relevant comment on the subject:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-licence/+bug/769874/comments/21

If Canonical were still a friendly member of our community, I probably
wouldn't worry too much about this.  However, ever since I learned about
this:

  Matthew Garrett: Canonical's Ubuntu IP policy is garbage
  https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/35969.html

and the way they treated Jonathan Riddell (creator of Kubuntu) who had
been trying to rectify this issue for years:

  http://jriddell.org/2015/07/15/ubuntu-policy-complies-with-gpl-but-fails-to-address-other-important-software-freedom-issues/

and the fact that they stubbornly refused to do more than the absolute
minimum needed to retain their right to distribute software covered by
the GNU GPL:

  https://www.fsf.org/news/canonical-updated-licensing-terms
  https://sfconservancy.org/news/2015/jul/15/ubuntu-ip-policy/
  http://www.ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2015/07/15/ubuntu-ip-policy.html

I no longer consider Canonical a friend to the free software movement,
and frankly I don't want to touch any of their stuff with a ten foot
pole, unless it is crystal clear in legalese that we and our users have
the rights we need.  In this case, it is not clear to me.

   Thanks,
     Mark

Indeed, those arguments make sense to me.

So I guess we can add a ‘non-functional-work’ procedure in (guix
licenses) to use in this and similar cases.  Would you like to propose a
patch?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
