That a proprietary program is distributed at zero price is not
important; that it is proprietary is what matters :-)

Hi,
We do not "require" fonts to be built from source. We ask packagers to
build font from sources when those sources are available unless they
have a very good reason not to.
However once upon a time, we didn't require fonts to be modifiable.
When enough modifiable fonts became available policy
Here are some troublesome points:
- Free font authors may well use non-free tools like FontLab to write
them. E.g., the recent variants of Liberation Sans by Gustavo
Ferreira.
- Free fonts may have a source that requires free-beer tools to
produce, like Adobe FDK, e.g. the TeX Gyre fonts:
