[OpenFontLibrary] Open Font License submitted to OSI

[Andrey V. Panov]

In fact OFL is not open source license. This is not essential for fonts edited 
in whole in e.g. Fontlab and this license was proposed by such the developers. 
Indeed in this case the fonts in ttf or otf format has little differences with 
sources. So the developers distribute fonts in final format only.

But some substantial parts of fonts could be programmed with scripts or external 
programs (opentype features, instructions etc.) For example expenses on the 
programming instructions in xgridfit are larger by an order than designing the 
font contours. And not releasing the sources makes the font almost unusable for 
other developers which will want to modify it. It would be like distributing 
programs in binary-only form without their sources.
