This is a huge achievement. I'm really enthusiast about the progress
made possible by OFL when it comes at propoer font licensing issues.

Work on better and cleaner font licensing will probably one of the
"TODO"'s for Debian lenny development.

I would be delighted if all members of this team commit themselves to
talk with their respective upstream and try to get the font we package
re-licensed under OFL.

Nicolas, I think that having a good talk about OFL at Debconf 7 would be
a great achievement. I bet that Daniel Glassey will be there but I
really hope that *you* will be also. And I  also hope that most of the
members of our still small and young team will come there.

This could be a very good opportunity to really launch something about
fints in Debian (and derivatives).

For the moment, we're probably all focused on etch release, but the
small rest time after the release will certainly be the moment where
we will have to really work on giving this pkg-fonts team a strong
restart...
