that patches

Specifically to

as Font

The description should consist of full sentences. Note that Nerd fonts
pulls in icons that are licensed under CC BY-NC-ND, which makes them
unfree. I'm not sure if those icons are present in the default
distribution, but I'd hazard a guess that they are.
More concerningly, the patches that can be applied via nerd fonts are
directly coded into their font-patcher, rather than, say, distributed
as a json file to be read separately. As far as I'm aware, this makes
nerd-fonts (the tool) itself NG.
