I would have asked you to point them at the prior discussions in Debian re the license, but thankfully they seem to have found them independently. If you are really keen to get ecofont into LO, Debian or any other F/OSS project, I would suggest to you that you take the idea and re-implement it on top of a truly free font. I don't think it must be that difficult to write an algorithm to punch holes in existing glyphs. The licensing terms are a deal- breaker, and it doesn't look like EcoFont is legally distributable at all. However, [1] (from the LO thread) suggests that this is entirely a waste of time, and a leaner glyph saves more ink anyway, whilst remaining legible.
