I really appreciate all the work those people have done and are doing - both in
their projects, and for LibreOffice! Please don't take the discussion of
bundling or providing extensions for fonts as something related to the
appreciation of some personal contributions. (I feel that trying to relate to
their great job in this context as moving away from the topic.)

IMO, bundling fonts (because they are great!!!) is no better than what those
great installers do that tell you "you are installing our product Foo. But why
not additionally install this great browser, and this nice Antivirus, and also
that other piece of software"...

Please put links to them near the download link on our site (a suggestion),
like "suggested downloads" or something. Describe them there, why do you feel
that's a good to accompany our software. Credit those people for their great
job. But don't bundle! And don't re-distribute. Re-distribution of *anything*
must not be the business of TDF.
