They do, and they depend somewhat on proprietary software (FontLab)
but SIL have been slowly publishing them, I think.

It uses *lots* of multiple (ligature-type) substitutions, sprinkled
with some context-based substitutions, and some single substitutions
in multiple ccmp tables (some tables are class-based, some glyph

do. I wonder how they maint

The GPL copyright holder for the original Type 1 fonts is URW, so they
would have to send GUST notice of derived work infringement. Correct?

I think the GUST guys have infringed the GPL. Not 100% sure, but I think so :(

That means the previous packager lost interest, and no one took over
from him, so the package was removed from the repository

I suspect that their fonts are based on the visual designs, but not
raw data of the URW fonts, otherwise GUST would be bound by the GPL,
and could not change the license... As you know, font "looks" cannot
be copyrighted in the U.S. (not sure about Europe though).

That a proprietary program is distributed at zero price is not
important; that it is proprietary is what matters :-)
>> I think we'll try to bump the fontforge version in fedora-devel
Hi,
We do not "require" fonts to be built from source. We ask packagers to
build font from sources when those sources are available unless they
have a very good reason not to.
However once upon a time, we didn't require fonts to be modifiable.
When enough modifiable fonts became available policy
Here are some troublesome points:
- Free font authors may well use non-free tools like FontLab to write
them. E.g., the recent variants of Liberation Sans by Gustavo
Ferreira.
- Free fonts may have a source that requires free-beer tools to
produce, like Adobe FDK, e.g. the TeX Gyre fonts:
