gnome-specimen

* Sometime back, I came to know this little cool tool for previewing and comparing fonts. Did RFP–>ITP and then I came to know that it has one file gnome-specimen-about.svg under cc-by-sa license (Thanks to Torsten Werner for pointing out!). What to do?? I searched over packages and found that atleast one package is under similar license. So, I went ahead and submitted package (Was it brave step?). It took long time in NEW (due to license issue), but finally it got place. I contacted author (Wouter Bolsterlee) and told about this. A nice discussion followed. Tried Inkscape, no luck. And finally, 0.3.1 is with-out that cc-by-sa license!! You can get upstream tarball here.

/me :P (Debian package will hit soon!)
