(By "we" he means the Fedora GNU/Linux distribution)

I hope the new OFLB site's upload form will have checkboxes for
uploaders to confirm they have done their homework applying the
license in an ideal way.

The new site is on a staging server,
http://openfontlibrary.fontly.org, and your ideas about how to improve
the upload form are most welcome!
