The 5 page PDF type specimen PDF -
http://www.ascendercorp.com/pdf/Droid_fonts.pdf - from the Ascender
website has the following introductory text:

"The Droid Typeface Family was designed in the Fall of 2006 by
Ascender's Steve Matteson. The goal was to provide optimal quality and
comfort on a mobile handset when rendered in application menus, web
browsers and for other screen text. Ascender Corporation worked
closely with the Open Handset Alliance to develop these system fonts
for the Android platform – a complete mobile phone software stack that
will be made available under the Apache open source license."

I read 'system fonts for the Android platform ... that will be made
available under the Apache open source license' :-)
