While updating copyright info for harfbuzz, I came across the following license in EXIF data.

dilinger@hm90:~/sid-build/harfbuzz$ exiftool  test/shape/data/in-house/fonts/641ca9d7808b01cafa9a666c13811c9b56eb9c52.ttf  | grep Copyright
Copyright (en-US)               : The digitally signed machine readable Typeface(Font) licensed to you is copyrighted ©, (2010), King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex...ISBN: 978-603-8010-15-0, Accession No. 1430/7278..All rights reserved. This Font is the property of King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex, and may not be reproduced, modified without the express written approval of King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex.

This license looks extremely non-free, and if it's accurate (and not just an outdated EXIF field), the font test/shape/data/in-house/fonts/641ca9d7808b01cafa9a666c13811c9b56eb9c52.ttf should probably be removed from the tree. If the license is different, it would be good to update the EXIF data or mention the file in the in-house directory's COPYING file.

Thanks. We probably should just remove that one. Sometimes these creep in.
@khaledhosny Do you happen to know which font that is?

Ah it's "KFGQPC Uthmanic Script HAFS".

It's a freeware font. Removing.

Fill in d/copyright, and also bump version string w/ +dfsg

The offending font was removed upstream, so we shouldn't need to do
this for the next release: see
harfbuzz#4059 for details.

Otherwise, ran decopy on everything and cleaned up the very messy
results.
