Khaled: Have you considered making an inventory of available Arabic
fonts? Or does one already exist? We could put together a table of
what's available, checking for available OT features, etc.
also, it would be nice to have some quality otf arabic fonts in tex live
Why not just include the SIL arabic fonts?

===============
1.3 Can I make the fonts available to others from my web site?
Yes, as long as you meet the conditions of the license (do not sell by
itself, include the necessary files, rename Modified Versions, do not
abuse the Author(s)' name(s) and do not sublicense).
1.4 Can the fonts be included with Free/Libre and Open Source Software
collections such as GNU/Linux and BSD distributions?
Yes! Fonts licensed under the OFL can be freely aggregated with software
under FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) licenses. Since fonts
are much more useful aggregated to than merged with existing software,
possible incompatibility with existing software licenses is not a problem.
You can also repackage the fonts and the accompanying components in a .rpm
or .deb package and include them in distro CD/DVDs and online repositories.
===============
Seems similar enough to Texie licences for inclusion.
