Those would, obviously, be forbidden to upload.  As with any uploaded
media, all uploaded fonts would need to be explicitly and irrevocably
released under a free license, which means no requirements for readmes
or restrictions on type of use.

Yes, if free fonts are available that are superior, and if users use a
suitably modern browser.  I believe the latest version of Safari would
work, and so would the upcoming Firefox 3.5.  If we have EOT support,
all versions of Internet Explorer would work going back a long way.
