Yes, distros should make these fonts available to all applications.
I have no doubt they will because the license is right and they make
some web pages and Word documents look better.

I was looking beyond that actually, because the license permits us to
improve Wine's compatibility even more. By generating modified versions
we can make applications work that assume the presence of these fonts
and their files.

So yes, there is duplication involved, but it is balanced by being more
compatible.
