This is not a apecific reply to anybody; just posting a couple of
links for whoever is interested to follow. 

As rightly pointed out, the discussion is about being able to include
the font in Debian "main"; not just "non-free". 

The DFSG:- http://www.debian.org/social_contract

For how to choose between "main", "contrib" and "non-free":-

To be specific, the link is:-

Now, I will go and read Debian-Legal has to say about this. ;-)
