anybody else see problems here. W3C its main goal is to open standards
right ?
No, I don't see a problem there.
WOFF *is* an open standard.
The fact that it's an open standard has nothing to do with the licensing
of any content (fonts) delivered in this format, whether extremely free
and open or highly restrictive - just as the HTTP protocol, for example,
may be used to deliver either free or proprietary content.
That sentence, IMO, is merely a reminder that packaging a font file in
WOFF format does not in itself magically alter or remove any copyright
restrictions or licensing terms that may be applicable; and conversely,
that a font delivered as a WOFF file is still subject to whatever terms
the font owner chooses (just like any other content, regardless of how
it is packaged).
