Some license files differ in name only via CASE

[skyegecko]

🎯 Subject of the issue

In #463 license files were added to all of the patched fonts. However, some files differ in name only via their case, for example patched-fonts/Agave/complete/LICENSE.TXT vs patched-fonts/Agave/complete/LICENSE.txt. This causes an incomplete clone on case-insensitive filesystems such as under Windows. Git also really struggles, and produces odd behaviour.

+Code New Roman is aimed for use in programming environments and other circumstances where a monospaced font is specified. All characters have the same width, like old typewriters, making it a good choice for personal and business correspondance. This font improved and based on Mac OS Western New Roman,MONACO, Windows Consolas/Lusida Consolas, ABeeZee and Bitstream Vera Sans Mono.This font display allowed a design with proportions closer to normal text than traditional monospaced fonts like Courier. This allows for more comfortably reading of extended text on screen. OpenType features include hanging or lining numerals; slashed, dotted and normal zeros; and alternative shapes for a number of lowercase letters. The look of text can be tuned to personal taste by varying the number of bars and waves.

I have the same issue in macOS, git is not able to manage this change correctly. I cannot restore, add or reset any of the changes.

It's been nearly a year now and this still hasn't been fixed, They are not duplicates and should be distinguished by somerthing other than case, possibly appending the licence type to the name. e.g. License (Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International).txt.

Example

nerd-fonts/patched-fonts/Agave/complete/LICENSE.TXT
is an Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence

nerd-fonts/patched-fonts/Agave/complete/LICENSE.txt
is an Apache License Version 2.0

for completeness

nerd-fonts/patched-fonts/Agave/complete/LICENSE

is an MIT licence.
