For sure; and a planet for collating our blogs... :-)

Yes, the Open Font Library will eventually (I hope) publish fonts
under any and all free software licenses, and then recommend a couple
for various common scenarios.

The "Expat" license is great for "do anything you like, I don't care
at all" people - similar to the X11, Python and revised BSD licenses.

The OFL is a great license for "design" focused people who want to
contribute to free software in a simple way and ensure their artistic
integrity is protected.

The GPLv3 with the font exception is a good license for "software
freedom" people who want to ensure that the font sources are available
for all versions. However, there isn't good FAQ style explanations for
the intricacies of this approach yet.
