Ok, final call. So it sounds like we are moving forward on using only
the Open Font License and not using public domain, as it is too
problematic internationally. Is this correct? Final thoughts and then we
are off and running (which means we need to accelerate our support for
this license with CC metadata.

Thanks Karl and Dave for bearing with us all on this :) I personally am
