We used to distribute Liberation fonts that were GPLv2, so it is fine to bundle
it with LO for whatever GPL version is implied, as the GPL doesnt restrict
distribution, else debian wouldn't have them in their repo.

IRC quotes:
<quikee> jphilipz: Liberation v1 were GPLv2 licensed AFAIK and we bundled
those, the new Liberation fonts are SIL licensed as they are now a rebased
variant of croscore fonts

mmeeks> jphilipz: prefer not to really - if possible - but much prefer it to
some random non-license
