Nope, I'm assuming that for things in non-free the maintainer has already made the best effort they can to free the fonts. However, there are plenty of freeware fonts and amateur fontographers out there (although it is a bit tedious to find *quality* fonts in all of that) and that's the population I'd like to educate about DFSG-free licensing. Unfortunately, it's going to be rough sledding unless I can find a license that is likely to address the problems fontographers typically face when deciding how to license their work (like: "How am I going to deal with it when someone changes my font to something ugly and it reflects poorly on my skills as a fontographer?")
