They only took it down on their site. They can't change the license,
though:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/

Why? Where are they going to come from?

Seeing as font designers claim to take a year per font or more, I'd say
yes. I think that making a font is less 'fun' for pro designers than
making an OS, but that's my opinion.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. Spread the word, please. The fonts
are still out there and they still have a license some of us can live
with.
Question: if someone has a valid win install, can you copy their fonts
from windows side to linux side? If so, can they put them on a font
server: xttfs? If so, can clients from all over connect? If not, why not.
Or am I misunderstanding things?
