Package: ttf-takao
Version: 003.02.01-4
Severity: wishlist

The upstream license, IPA Font License Agreement v1.0, is copyleft
license and incompatible with GPL.

However, this Debian packaging license is GPL-3.  It is problematic
if the upstream part is modified with packaging.

Please consider the Debian packaging license to be compatible with
upstream, as follows:
