Please document all of the contained files' licenses. There are several fonts contained that I cannot find in your copyright file. remixicon-NKANDIL5.woff2 is probably under a non-free license and has to be excluded.
Hi Bastian, This font comes from the elixir-ex-doc package, it is used for displaying a few icons in the generated documentation for Erlang. So, I think this bug should be addressed to elixir-ex-doc and not to erlang. The font is generated from icons from https://remixicon.com/ The icons have the following license: https://github.com/Remix-Design/remixicon/blob/master/License It permits personal and commercial use of icons, including modification and redistribution. But it prohibits reselling the icons themselves and using them for branding, which is likely makes them non-free. So looks like I'd have to replace this font by some other one with similar icons, or may be the font is free enough to use it as is (with proper licence documenting in elixir-ex-doc). Cheers!

Hello Bastian and Sergei! That font is vendored into ExDoc and was vendored before the recent change to the license of Remix Icons. So they still fall under Apache 2.0. I filed an issue with ExDoc to make this clear and possibly migrate away from Remix Icons in future updates so that they don't use icons under the not-as-free-but-still-pretty-free license. https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc/issues/2262 Lukas
