I'm not sure i understand the  sticking point on using the Open Font 
License for the Oxygen Fonts. Can someone remind me of the issue? Is 
there seriously a worry that any text written in an OFL licensed font 
could somehow become included under the license? I'm not aware of any 
font licensing (libre or proprietary) that has ever attempted that :)  
'Text' and  'font' are obviously separate.
