Which is a quite restrictive license....
ACK
So, you have to download it yourself, or grml must try to get special permission (which would be very nice).
If GRML would do that work for every little nice thing that is not free as used in the term "free software", it would be a lot of work to track these permissions etc., so I guess it's smart to use only real free stuff... Additionally, it would make redistribution of grml by other people problematic, legally, if only the main grml team gets this special allowance...
Yes, and as there are people using grml as a base it's a no-go for us. See http://www.debian.org/social_contract and http://www.debian.org/intro/free
Inconsolata is a (rather nice IMO) free monospace font: http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-inconsolata
It's designed more for high-resolution rendering in print rather than screen use (not sure if it has box-drawing symbols). But Fontforge and Spiro sources are available, and the license allows user modification.
Is the SIL Open Font License free enough to allow inclusion in GRML? http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=OFL_web
