Hi Igshaan,

I wonder if you could package it with alphanumeric name? such as 
mplus-fonts because I worry if usage of `+` could pass the package 
review. :)

The actual package name is 'mplus-fonts'. I have not made use of the
'+' for this very reason.

Are all the fonts listed in
http://www.geocities.jp/ep3797/modified_fonts_01.html members of mplus font?

Also the license statements on
http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/#license in full?

Could you persuade the author to release under GPL or any other better
license?

For legal issues please contact Tom 'spot' Callaway.

Those fonts are not in my package, only the ones listed here:
http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/design/index-en.html
Which Tom has noted his approval.

The font listed there seem to be mixes of multiple fonts. Which is only going
to work if the licenses of all the font files used are compatible with each
other (mixes is one big reason why sticking to standard licenses is a good
idea)

The mplus font license has already been listed as an approved
        Fedora
        font license:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Font_Licenses

So I don't know if it's worth having the author change it. Has
        someone
        spoke to him before? (I would worry about pestering him)

We have some packages with + in their names in the repo, however this is not
something we want to generalise.
