i have always found the fundus bundle rather disturbing; indeed, i
wonder whether tl is allowed to distribute bits of it at all (even if
the licence "you are NOT allowed to modify this file" is considered
"free") -- it seems to demand that all of fundus be distributed
together.  (i'm not an expert here, but i wouldn't be surprised to be
told to downgrade them.)

someone (preferably not me) should contact gerd n about this.

fwiw, the s"utterlin fonts are clearly pd.  the startrek fonts aren't
on ctan afaict, and i've not spotted anything about how to find them
(it says they "have to be a got separately").
