IMHO the main objective of OFLB is to teach designers to license
clearly their work and teach users to actually check those licenses.
dafont, myfont, etc would be fine if they actually provided clear
licensing and origin info instead of stripping it and putting on a
"free" tag that does not mean anything.
For commercial foundries the licensing boils down to "pay me" and thus
licensing compliance is de facto checked at the credit card stage.
They're not a good model for fonts with non-monetary licensing
clauses.
