--- Comment #7 from Dr Anirban Mitra <mitra_anirban(a)yahoo.co.in&gt; ---
As Mukti Narrow fonts are now part of fedora as fbf-mukti-fonts, as developer
and maintainer of the font I thought it is important to clear the legal issues
once and for all.
1. Free software foundation announced release of Indian language fonts by
Akruti Multimedia
https://web.archive.org/web/20021129221508/http://www.gnu.org.in/software...
bng-1 and bng-2 among them
2. Mukti font family was created using bng-1 and Mukti Narrow family was
created using bng-2 family

3. Mike Meir told in Microsoft volt forum that bng-1 glyphs are a lift off from
Linotype Bengali.

4. We at Free Bangla font project, informed FSF india regarding the claim.

5. In May 2003, Free Software foundation announced withdrawal of bng-1n and
bng-1b from GPL https://web.archive.org/web/20030523225032/https://fsf.org.in/

6. Immediately original Mukti Regular and Mukti Bold font is withdrawn.

7. In 2006, Mukti Narrow family, which was not encumbered by any copyright
claim, was renamed Mukti.

So present Mukti font has no legal issues.
