Debian rejected them because Red Hat made a RETARDED additional
anti-tivoisation restriction. But this is a lot better than non-free
Microsoft fonts.

I am currently working on documenting this and recommending best
practices for applying to GPL to fonts, and hope to get Red Hat to
sort this out. Its embarrassing that Red Hat fucked up applying the
GPL...
