Open a bug report. Let's start the process of having it removed in F9.

- There are efforts to drain the font licensing swamp and promote
FLOSS fonts (http://unifont.org/go_for_ofl/), they are aligned with Fedora general objectives yet Fedora has totally ignored them so far (cf Liberation licensing choices)
Keep in mind that Liberation licensing was a Red Hat, Inc decision, not a Fedora decision.
Also, we haven't totally ignored the OFL, since it is listed as the "preferred" font license on the Fedora licensing page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/Fonts
Wasn't the case when I wrote this :p
Many thanks,
