Thanks, but my suggestion is libre/open fonts not free/libre.
Precisely to reduce confusion.

Mmm, do you realise that the ambiguity benefits them and that IMHO they
are unlikely to want to clarify? In a similar way than freeware sites or
mainstream computer magazines consciously re-labeling software under
FSF-approved licenses as "freeware"...

How much spare time do you have :-)
Better start soon...  or maybe not...
