Hi Matthew, thank you for your work.
You seem to be missing the point here. I'm well aware of the paid-for apps in
the Software Center.
Yet, "Free" in English is way too ambiguous and you are certainly not helping
making users aware by choosing this word to indicate the price or lack thereof:
<insert free as in foo not free as in bar cliché here>.
You are being offensive to authors of open fonts when their work is
lumped together with "Free" stuff which is almost always of dubious
value regarding fonts. That's simply a bad connotation. The community of
designers releasing fonts to be used/studied/modified/redistributed
don't want to be associated with "free". Since you are offering their
work via your channel you shouldn't mislabel it.
It's really simple: you need to indicate the price or lack thereof
differently: in any case either "gratis" "£0.00" or "no charge" is much
better than "free".
Showing the explicit licensing information is a separate issue.
