I feel _very_ strongly that all fonts we offer should be under (L)GPL
or similar. I've thus asked (well implored would be more appropriate :-)
meor to reconsider as there is a heap more benefit from his font(s) being
open to all instead to a smaller subset. If the idea here is to bring
forth a "standardized solution" then whatever is decided upon (and I owe
the list a "why these code-points email") should really be promoted as much
as possible. We should also remember that various distro are commercial
vehicles that we should not exclude any of our work from.
