You know, licensing commercial data rather than producing a libre version of it seems to be quite at odds with the Debian way of things. I certainly like the Debian logo, so I don't mind the typeface as such, but I think we should at least use a free version of it. If there's none, we should either use some Debian funds to commission someone to make it (if there's a willing and talented typograph to be found) or change to a different typeface.
