I agree, but I'm hoping to work this year to untangle the GPL mess,
because I feel a strong copyleft license for fonts is greatly needed
for myself personally and for the wider community.

I'm hoping Canonical might do some of the work with their LGPL Ubuntu
Titling font; we'll have to wait and see about that :-)

Yes, and given that they paid a lot for the development of the font,
you'd think they would spend a little time/money sorting out the
licensing...
