I would say the "inconsistency", if aby, is that Abraham didn't make the fonts proprietary right from the start. I would see it the other way round: commercial fonts that happen to have free ancestors. >I'm not opposed to you having >proprietary versions of your fonts.

If so that should of course be modified by using free fonts as examples.
