I quote the mail I wrote to the Parabola GNU/linux List (where ttf-thai is 
blacklisted):

Since the ttf-thai package contains many non-free fonts and is on the 
blacklist, 
but also contains free fonts, I have created ttf-thai-libre as replacement.

Remark: I found this suspicious. It isn't mentioned that the author gave the 
permission
to modify it under GPL. So I removed it.
