fonts with potentially proprietary license found

[dilinger]

I think I found another two:

test/shape/data/text-rendering-tests/fonts/TestGVAREight.ttf
test/api/fonts/TestGVAREight.ttf

Copyright: 1992-2017, Thomas A. Rickner

dilinger@hm90:~/sid-build/harfbuzz2$ exiftool test/api/fonts/TestGVAREight.ttf | grep License
License Info URL (en-US)        : https://github.com/TrueTyper/BuffaloGals/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

That page says:

BuffaloGals was explicitly given permission for testing but font file was not updated. I'm happy to remove if you prefer.

[dilinger]

Was permission given to distribute under an MIT license, or OSF-1.1? If that's the case, then it's probably fine to leave it and make a note somewhere.

I hexedited the two fonts to change the LicenseInfoURL-en-US tag to point to https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/main/COPYING. If the permission is for the same license as the rest of harfbuzz, I can submit a PR. If it's not, let me know and I can modify the field to point to whatever license it falls under.

The fonts come from this repo:
https://github.com/unicode-org/text-rendering-tests

So better to point the license there. You can also use ttx which is more convenient than a hex editor. Thanks.
