Putting Identity-H CMap Under Version Control
Hi,
In my work on introducing support for TrueType fonts in PostScript
I need to use a CMap file to map character codes to CIDs. Like in PDF
the mapping is trivial and is Identity. But unlike in PDF I can't just
give the name of the CMap file, I must explicitly embed it in the
PostScript output (IIC). I could do it by hand as it’s not especially
difficult, but that file is readily available from Adobe’s website. See
here:
http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cmap/CMap+Resources
where the Downloads link leads to the following archive:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/opensource/cmap/cmapresources_identity0.tar.z
The Identity-H file that I need contains a copyright reproduced below:

Some time ago PDFBox stumbled upon an issue when it came to using CMap
files for CJK fonts:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-494
They submitted the case to ASF Legal Affairs who said the files couldn’t
be put under version control but had to be downloaded from somewhere:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-36
However, the copyright headers for those CMap aren’t the same as the one
above and are more restrictive. This one is more liberal and is
(I believe) compatible with the Apache License. It closely matches the
legal notice that comes with Adobe AFM files, which are listed as
includable within Apache products:
http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a
So I’m basically asking for confirmation here: is it ok if I store
Identity-H on the Subversion repository? I believe it is but, you know,
IANAL...
Thanks,
Vincent

Hi Vincent
The license you copied in your post is exactly the good old BSD license
[1] which is Category A. You're good to go adding this to our SVN repo.
