The fonts are under the GPL {mainly/also?} because they borrow the latin
glyphs from GPL-ed fonts (the URW fonts).
XFree may have problems with such a license, but linux distros certainly
won't. (Also note that there is no legal issue with including GPL-ed files
in a MIT-licensed packages. It just complicates their LICENSE file)
