The entries that exist in both Liberation fonts and Croscore are
basically identical glyphs right ?

Times New Roman metrics: Liberation Serif, Arimo
Courier New metrics: Liberation Mono, Cousine
Arial metrics: Liberation Sans, Tinos
Arial Narrow metrics: Liberation Sans Narrow, <no-equivalent ?>

So there isn't a "Tinos Narrow", right ?

Is it, at least theoretically, possible for Red Hat to 
a) relicence the Liberation fonts under OFL and merge in the extra
glyphs ? Or are we painted into a corner somehow on that by 3rd party
contributions under LGPLv2 ?
b) Just create a new font based on the Croscore fonts using the OFL and
call it Liberation Fonts 2.0

If we're caught on Liberation Sans Narrow being donated through hdu from
Sun/Oracle under the GPLv2, split it off as a standalone "Narrow"
project remaining under the GPLv2 ?
