You have been subscribed to a public bug by Steve Langasek (vorlon):

The maitreya package claims to be GPL, but contains a font that includes
glyphs copied from an external source without crediting the author or
acknowledging that the source font was only available under a shareware
license.

The copyright holder has notified Canonical of this lapse.  A new
upstream version of maitreya has been available which removes the
incorrectly-licensed glyphs, but we should just drop the package from
utopic until someone in Debian gets around to updating it.

** Affects: maitreya (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
