--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Neither the project nor TDF can host fonts of questionable license. Nor can we
police the Intellectual Property rights of how LibreOffice is used. 

But we don't want to "poison" LibreOffice with unlicensed or illegal font
bundling. "Free" or "Available" have to be kept at arms length. Why I've
suggested a TDF commissioned metric equivalent to Aptos under SIL Open Font
License, host it for download and bundle it into LibreOffice.

Otherwise facilitating access to "cloud hosted" or "centralized" (e.g. on
premise) font repositories with dynamic font loading, and optional install to
user profile, is a needed feature.
