I have checked in an xml license file for Freesans (actually for the whole GNU FreeFont set) at http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/resources/gnufreefonts.xml Note the important exclusion in the license (the SVG test suite is not covered by GPL just because it uses this font). and have checked in all four faces of the FreeSans family (sans, SansOblique, SansBold, SansBoldOblique) in the svg/woffs directory. These include the above license file as woff metadata. I will do the same for Serif and Mono, but the call is about to start. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
