I tried to raise some interest in this topic upstream, but honestly, I
doubt there is enough incentive to adapt to the new licensing:
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-August/037266.html
For the Debian package, couldn't we just distribute that font under the
license granted to the TeX User Group? Comparing the tarballs
distributed by X.org and by CTAN, the font files (.pfb/.afm) are exactly
the same. It is just the LICENSE/COPYING text that's different!
Currently, the only way to get this font installed on a Debian system is
via texlive-fonts-recommended, which is at least inconvenient if you are
not going to use tex at all.
