To be fair, the site did say it was about PD fonts for a long time.
The OFL code and all the text was copied from OCAL, which is why some
people recall PD being a policy - it was inherited from OCAL
initially, and has slowly been removed :-)

The OSI approved some licenses the FSF considers non-free, although
they are obscure, so it is better than use the FSF as an authority, or
to be bipartisan, "OSI boolean-AND FSF licenses" as policy.
