Uncredited font data #547
Description
In the directory https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-admin-style/tree/master/djangocms_admin_style/static/djangocms_admin_style/fonts, we have font files which do not have any credits.
According to the available metadata, the fonts have been generated from SVG, probably from the src directory inside there. Given the corresponding history at https://github.com/django-cms/djangocms-admin-style/commits/master/djangocms_admin_style/static/djangocms_admin_style/fonts/src, these files originate from a Font Awesome version available on Oct 13, 2015: 45b39c0. Another icon has been added later in 2023: 0248a3c
Given Oct 13, 2015, the corresponding Font Awesome release seems to be 4.4.0: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/v4.4.0 The corresponding source has the license file at https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/v4.4.0/src/license.html (see notes in https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/v4.4.0/README.md as well). As back then no individual icon files were distributed, I have to assume that the icons have been extracted from the existing font files in https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/tree/v4.4.0/src/assets/font-awesome/fonts This would indicate that the files fall under the terms of the OFL-1.1.
The conditions for redistribution under the OFL-1.1 are currently unmet for djangocms-admin-style, as it requires shipping the original copyright and license terms, as well as distributing any modifications on the font files under the same license (see https://spdx.org/licenses/OFL-1.1.html). As djangocms-admin-style does not use the Font Awesome font name, some other conditions are already met.
Please note that the most recent Font Awesome releases use a different license for the icons (CC-BY-4.0), maybe making it easier for djangocms-admin-style to ship and use these files.
