I'm considering packaging Airbus's B612 typeface (https://www.polarsys.org/projects/polarsys.b612) for Fedora. It's licenced under the Eclipse Public License v1.0 and Eclipse Distribution License v. 1.0. Neither of these licences are listed on the good licences for fonts list at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal_considerations_for_fonts#Approved_font_..., but both are on the good licences for software list at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses. Does this mean that these fonts can be acceptably included in Fedora?
Thanks.

The Eclipse license is a pretty odd choice for a font, but that fact not withstanding, yes, fonts under those licenses are considered FOSS and okay for Fedora.
