	The ESC discussed this precise issue in the past; and made a decision
not to include the Ubuntu font, and because of that, this is the status
quo today. No doubt someone clever could dig out the minutes on that.

	If we want to re-discuss it - since the issue is a legal /
advertising / bikeshed-cum-flame-bait issue. I'd recommend we re-discuss
it in an ESC call preferably after 4.0 / FOSDEM. The more concise,
accurate and detailed a write-up we have for all the fonts we currently
ship the better the decision we can take. Anyone griping about this
should build better data: Name, License, coverage, binary-size, hinting
etc. One potential solution might be to remove other non-free fonts (if
indeed we are bundling them) - OTOH - there is AFAICS no need for a
hasty conclusion on this: we can tweak this for 4.0.1 and/or 3.6.<next>
as/when necessary.

	ATB,
