OK, the upstream license change for this package one major issue here.  

However, the most serious issue is that the Bitstream copyright is removed and
the font author claims full copyright for these fonts (both in the accomodating
README and inside the .ttf files).  From my reading of the Bitstream copyright
text, I am under the impression that the original copyright text must be
preserved, and that its removal is violating the original license.  In
upstream's website however, it is acknowledged that hunky fonts is a derivative
of bitstream vera fonts, so I think that it is a misunderstanding of copyright
issues here.

Therefore, I would suggest that upstream fixes the copyright and license before
proceeding.

(My only other cosmetical nit is the name of the package (which is of course
your choice only).  For consistency reasons I would suggest the package name to
be hunky-fonts  to match with the rest of the fonts in fedora-extras).

P.S.  Michael, thanks for reminding me of the procedure.
