Well, it seems to me that we have a discrepancy here: either (for
Canonical/on Ubuntu) the UFL is non-free or it isn't. If it is, then the
other two issues are correctly open, but the fix in here (no longer
marking this font as non-free) is wrong. On the other hand, if the UFL
isn't non-free, this issue was correctly fixed, but the other issues
should be closed.

My personal understanding used to be that the license was non-free, the
confirmed state on #1167425 a sign that it being non-free wasn't
disputed, and I was hopefully waiting for a resolution - but this change
on fonts-ubuntu package (and the comment cited above, jusifying it)
ended up confusing me. I'm bringing this up with the hope of finding
clarity.
