Isn't that exactly the point, Ulrike ?  Whether one thinks it a good
idea or not, TeX Live has a policy of excluding anything that it deems
"non-free", so it cannot (by definition) include these fonts.  But an
open-source script (i.e., "free", in the TeX Live sense) that a user can
use to /add/ such fonts to his or her own personal TeX Live
installation, is surely a Good Thing [tm], and its inclusion in TeX Live
can only be of benefit.
