Would be nice. I am not sure how realistic this is, though.

AFPL does allow derived works, if they are clearly marked as such.
However, it is a copy-left license just like GPL, ie, any derived work
MUST use the same license as the original work. But then the TeX Gyre
Project ignores this requirement for the GPLed LW35 fonts already.
