As for the Liberation fonts, it may seem strange, but if you're curious, it's
basically like this: The license of the Liberation fonts is standard GPLv2 plus
an extra restriction or two. The text of the GPL says that you can't add
non-GPL restrictions of your own, they'd violate the GPL. The FSF does permit
modified licenses based on GPL, but *only* if they change the name of the
license to something other than GPL, which Red Hat hasn't done. Thus, the whole
Liberation font license is invalid, and Debian has no legal right to
redistribute. But Red Hat does not acknowledge the problem, nor does anyone
else, hence it doesn't get fixed.

Messy...
