I wasn't going to follow this up, but you raise good points...

I did briefly ask someone online about it yesterday. The basic response
was:
* they're aware of the Red Hat font license issue;
* they think it's free but GPL-incompatible;
* they're talking to Red Hat about it.
I didn't delve specifically into the technicalities of how they reached
that conclusion, but I'm not sure I was talking to someone who was
involved with that discussion.
I got the sense that they were trying to persuade Red Hat to change the
license, but I suspect that's more likely to do with the perceived
GPL-incompatibility rather than the exception judo.
I'm actually quite interested in this exception stuff now though: these
potentially smells like a license incompatibility/proliferation
minefield, which potentially could affect a lot of free software
(including stuff I work on).
Cheers,
Alex.
