The DejaVu aren't bad but still far from perfect.  The FreeSomething
are all awful as far as I have seen.  Nobody is opposing free fonts,
though.  Just gotta find one that looks good and professional.

Make love not war.  Xiph is about free media, free software, and free
licenses.  Don't get the wrong idea.

travel to Australia is tiring.  I hear the place is full of ninja
kangaroos, so please cut some slack.

By the way, Monty, the Wikipedia et al people are asking if we can
license the logos under a free license.  Say CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA.  If
you'll decide on this, please inform me, so I may rely the message to
them.

The SOM ones are under the Public Domain and only use free fonts as
far as I am aware.
