--- Comment #5 from Pravin Satpute <psatpute at redhat.com> ---
I respect your point of view. But in present situation it is not possible to
Restore GPL. Since community will miss lots of Enhancement like extended
coverage, better hinting. And i am sure we are moving to better license than
earlier.

There is tweak though as said here.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SILOFL

"The Open Font License (including its original release, version 1.0) is a free
copyleft license for fonts. Its only unusual requirement is that fonts be
distributed with some computer program, rather than alone. Since a simple Hello
World program will satisfy the requirement, it is harmless. Neither we nor SIL
recommend the use of this license for anything other than fonts."
