It would be good to have a meeting point to register efforts on relicensing fonts with the OFL license (so that we don't get collisions in contacting font designers). The Freenode channel #fonts is taken; it should be possible to reclaim it as the current owner does not appear to use it.
-We will use the ["Software/Fonts/ProjectsUsingOpenFontLicense"] page to coordinate efforts to standardise on the OFL as a common license for collaborative font design. (We'll advocate the use of this common model but it will obviously be up to the font designers and font project maintainers to choose).

I realised that the Inconsolata font is distributed under the Open Font Licence, http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html (thanks raph!).
AFAIK it is the intent but it has not been released yet. The downloadable version is work in progress AFAIK (with standard fontforge entries in the copyright field).
