Why?
For, I think 2 years, there was already a discusion and the result was,
that the ORIGINAL authors have the right by the GPL to do so...
One of the problems are, if you create a drived TTF and do not change
the name of it and someons application or documents depends on YOUR
derived TTF, the person is not more able to install the ORIGINAL TTF.
Also the request to rename the TTF and remove all links to the ORIGINAL
author protect him/her for damages based on the derived TTF.
