Yes, but I'll be watching the new font.

I don't know exactly what they need. But I removed (before compile 
Gambas) the examples/examples/Games/GNUBoxWorld/License, 
examples/examples/Games/Puzzle1To8/Licence and 
examples/examples/Games/RobotFindsKitten/COPYING files. These extra 
license files, and I get lintian warnings about them. These licenses are 
to be included in the copyright file. Or I use lintian-overrides (not 
that otherwise would be significant).
So, the Debian packages doesn't contain these license files. But if the 
source of the Gambas would include them, then that would be good. A 
little bit much the source files, but I will rewrite the copyright file.
