Yeah, I'm not sure what they are doing...however, I would say our goal
should be for the Open Source/Open Content/Free Software communities.
Ideally, we could consolidate the horrible font mess into our
infrastructure and do releases like: openfontlibrary-1.0.tar.gz and then
the distros can install this with our high-quality fonts as the major
fonts for an installation. This would be major.
