Hi Ed,

In the project-and-organisation-specific deprecated category we may want
to add detection for the following licensing models:
- Utopia
- Baekmuk
- GUST
- Hershey
- Lucida
- Stix
- Wadalab
- mplus
- Mincho


And a profile to detect any CC-licensed fonts to flag them up.

I'll provide the patch for MIT.
