A better license from URW (not GUST font licenses, please!) would
indeed be good. One should keep in mind, though, that URW is not the
only copyright holder involved here. And I am not sure how the legal
status of a (from my point of view) derived work changes, when the
original work is rereleased under a different license. I think that's
to complicated for my non-lawyer brain ... :-)
