Thanks, but my suggestion is libre/open fonts not free/libre. Precisely to reduce confusion.

Mmm, do you realise that the ambiguity benefits them and that IMHO they are unlikely to want to clarify? In a similar way than freeware sites or mainstream computer magazines consciously re-labeling software under FSF-approved licenses as "freeware"... How much spare time do you have :-) Better start soon... or maybe not... -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font teams / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org
