I personally don't understand why openfontlibrary.com is a good domain 
for public domain fonts only. "Open" always has been a word used for 
*all* OSS licenses. If the person insists on having an OFLB fork, he 
should consider moving to something like "pdfontlibrary" or whatever, 
since visitors will be disappointed if the most used open software 
licenses can't be used.

Second issue, he's free to do with his domain since he owns it, but at 
least play it nice and don't give it the same name, look and logo as 
the true OFLB. And always have in big letters on the front page that 
it's not the same project.
