free Bitstream fonts

[Gregory Seidman <gss+debian@cs.brown.edu>]

At LinuxWorld Expo there was much talk of the fonts Bitstream was making
available for free use (mainly for GNOME). It appears that they have been
released in a preliminary version at http://gnome.org/fonts/

Is anyone planning on packaging them? At the moment, they are available
with a restriction on redistribution, but that didn't prevent a Debian
package from being created for the MS core fonts (msttcorefonts). It would
be great if someone decided to package them as they are, with a download as
part of the install script, then rev the package with the actual fonts when
the final, redistributable versions come out.

Any takers?
