[mythtv-users] Using Google Webfonts in the MythTV UI

[Alec Leamas]

Yes, sure, it's both technically and legally OK. It's just that
distributions have their policies, they don't want bundled sw for long and
partly complicated reasons. E. g., see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy (cannot find the
debian reference out of the top of my head, but they also have the same
general rule IIRC).
