Hi Vignesh,

Thanks for reporting this issue!

The file "LICENSE" in Debian source package "fonts-dejavu" contains
several licensing texts, but all of them are uncommon ones. Individual
font source files contain no licensing, only copyright (and mentions the
lack of copyright for some parts due to being in the Public Domain).

Technically it not a bug to report licensing as "UNKNOWN", because
really no licensing shortname is known to licensecheck for the licensing
here granted by Bitstream.

Several other more general issues relates to this one, however, and
fixing some or all of those would like make this issue less relevant:

 * Licensecheck should distinguish reason it defaulted to UNKNOWN
   tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/1001635
 * project-wide licensing should be noted in header section
   tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/863954

That said, I will jeep this issue report open, as a good example of
non-generic licensing which could maybe be pseudo-classified tied to a
similar generic license - e.g. as Expat~Bitstream.
