In fact you can change anything you want in utpopia by making a new 
font and using it with utopia through a virtual font mechanism. I

What is sure is that to have plenty of licence designs for texlive 
stuff is painful.

But to have only one for such different things that

* executable binaries
* (La)TeX files
* Type1/trutype stuff

is not so good (imho).
