Kinda. I think fontconfig files are a very good idea to be mandatory,
so they actually work when installed. We *don't* want all fonts to
have MetaInfo files however; some fonts are poor quality or only
contain some glyphs (e.g. the Ubuntu title font) and we don't want to
show those.

The metadata extractor will accept files without copyright, but it's
rather stricter on licensing; we need to make sure the output
AppStream metadata is a sane and with a redistributable license.
