* Package name    : python-openstep-plist
  Version         : 0.3.0
  Upstream Author : The FontTools Organization
* URL             : https://github.com/fonttools/openstep-plist
* License         : Expat? (See below)
  Programming Lang: Python, Cython
  Description     : A parser for the "old style" OpenStep plist format (also known as ASCII plist)

This is a dependency of glyphslib, since Glyphs.app format uses ASCII
plist format as their base format.

However, despite their license marked as MIT (Expat), the code structure
seems to be heavily derived from the CoreFoundation from Apple, which is
licensed as APSL 2.0, which is not DFSG-free[1] but seems to be
compatible with other Expat-licensed libraries and executables. I need a
guidance here to continue.

If this is going to be packaged, this package should be maintained under
Debian Python Team.
