[Bug 310882] Re: fop warning: "SEVERE: Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en" (missing fop-hyph package)

[Onkar Shinde]

That note misrepresents the reality. If you check individual licenses
then you will realize that some of them are not distributable at all
while some will end up in multiverse (non-free in Debian).

Some examples:
1. en_US.xml - D.E. Knuth's TeX license, and the additional condition: ‘Can be used freely for non-commercial purposes’
Can not be invluded in Debian/Ubuntu because of non-commercial clause.
2. fi.xml - ‘Patterns may be freely distributed’
Does not talk about permission to modify.
3. hu.xml - The file contains no license information

To use hyphenation patterns user can follow following steps.
1. Download the jar file from the website.
2. Set environment variable FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH pointing to the jar file (absolute path).
3. Launch fop as usual.
It is easier than before and currently the optimal solution.
