OK, let me rephrase: I mean there's no reason to exclude commercial font tyepscripts from the repository. Also, I think it would be useful to include availability information in the file (if possible) regardless of the whether it's free or commercial. > And note that the distinction is *not* between "free" and > "professional", but rather "free" and "commercial". Aren't LM or TeX > Gyre professional;)? You're right that my word choice was wrong. OTOH, I think LM looks like crap ;-) But your wording is also a little loose; "free" is rather vague, and licensing details matter quite a lot with fonts.
