Description:
The font provided by the package can be distributed under a "custom" license, but the license is not provided.

Additional info:
* package version: ttf-hack 2.020-2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Check upstream project license
2. Check package "Licenses" field (e.g. with "pacman -Qi")
3. Look at package files (e.g. with "pacman -Ql")

Expected result
1. License is a custom "Hack OFL + Bitstream Vera License"
2. Value is "custom" or "custom:XXX"
3. The license text is provided under "/usr/share/license/ttf-hack/", as required by the License and ArchLinux packaging guidelines

Actual result
1. OK
2. Value is "SIL Open Font License 1.1 and Bitstream Vera License"
3. No license file provided

The Hack typeface uses a custom¹, MIT-style license. The patch reflects that.

Bug still present in current package version (ttf-hack 3.003-3)

Proposed patch seems quite OK, upstream license doesn't seem to have changed meanwhile.
