Hi Nicolas, and thanks for all your work on fonts.

Because some items in Ubuntu Software Center (and in equivalent
utilities on other platforms) have a price, USC needs to be clear about
all those that do not. In English, we do this by saying that they are
"Free". I don't know of any other way of doing that that wouldn't look
either pretentious (e.g. "Gratis"), primitive (e.g. "Price: $0.00"), or
pedestrian (e.g. "No charge").

If zero-price fonts have a stigma in the typeface design community, I
think that stigma can more effectively be tackled by organizations like
SIL and the League of Movable Type than by a puny software installation
utility. :-)

We would like to be more specific about the license. That's bug 435183,
so I'm marking this as a duplicate. Please reopen if I've missed
anything.
