While these fonts were made freely downloadable, it's my understanding that
they were never released under a free license -- and if I remember right,
not even under one which allows redistribution (you needed to get them from
Microsoft directly).


Yeah, even Alec has provided proper license in spec file. [3]
"License: non-redistributable, no commercial use, no modifications permitted"

It is clearly mention non-redistributable, so making rpm for redistribution looks not allowed. I think you can get better comments from Fedora legal.
