Interesting news! Somebody is doing a survey on font licensing for their thesis here. Let's tell him about free software! Here's the text I used:

"Font licensing is a very simple issue. As fonts are software, all fonts need to be free software, or they are controlling their users. That is unethical.

"By 'free software', I am not referring to price, but the free software described at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html. You must have the freedom to use fonts for any purpose, to modify them, and to copy and redistribute them for any price even with modifications.

"I currently use the free and open-source GNU/Linux operating system, and use only free and open-source fonts."
