I think the sensible thing here is basically what you said before, to set something like: # CC-BY-SA 4.0, but only in countries where typefaces are uncopyrightable PERMIT_PACKAGE = Restrictively licensed in some countries PERMIT_DISTFILES = Restrictively licensed in some countries Users in countries where it's freely licensed will have to build the port manually, which is annoying but better than hosting the package on mirrors in countries that don't permit it.
