Thank you for looking at this. A detached license file, even if not
included in a zip file with the fonts, is going to be a great help to
us.

I admit I'm sceptical of zip being a barrier to creating previews, and I
think not putting the files in the same archive will lead to some being
lost, but we're careful enough to avoid this Fedora-side so I'm not
going to make a pest of myself for something we can deal with.

and .zips, and .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 :p

I'm more sceptical of .html — it could be used as a code injection
carrier (with embedded js) IMHO.
