With DejaVu you can sell it as part of a "larger" software package (just 
like the OFL), whereas this license doesn't seem to allow that.

btw, "larger software package"... If fonts are software, does that mean 
that since we added glyphs to Vera in DejaVu that it would be valid to 
sell DejaVu by itself?
