The real fonts do have a license that prohibit modification (which could 
mean providing package of files extracted from original "cab" file(s)) and 
doesn't allow any profit such as including it in a CD that is sold.

The sourceforge project provides: "The src rpm is cleverly constructed so 
that the actual fonts are downloaded from Sourceforge's site at build 
time. Therefore this package technically does not 'redistribute' the 
fonts, it just makes it easy to install them on a linux system."

As another example, Ubuntu's msttcorefonts package says: "allows for easy 
installation" and "You will need an Internet connection to download these 
fonts if you don't already have them."

This is why I am looking for alternatives so I can suggest them to package 
users.
