--- Comment #4 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
The Ubuntu Font License is non-free.

It says:

  To "Propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
  computer or modifying a private copy.

The "except" items are use and modification restrictions. Since the
license only refers to "propogate", and never grants unrestricted use
or modification permissions, the license is non-free.

Canonical could fix this license by simply dropping "except executing
it on a computer or modifying a private copy".
