We do not classify fonts as data in Fedora. They have to pass the same
freeness requirements as programs.

For OFL, some people like Bruce Perens feel it's not protective enough
and almost akin to public domain

For Vera, DejaVu has been proving for years the FSF four freedoms
could be exercised. The only forbidden use-cases is use of the
original trademark and distribution for profit of naked fonts not
included in a larger software package, with the official FAQ
clarifying a standalone rpm is a larger package.

So please do not drag Fedora fonts in your argument.
