Description Andre 2011-11-14 13:57:18 UTC 
The liberation fonts have GPL license and therefore have to be removed from Apache OpenOffice.

After a discussion on the ooo-dev mailing list, the gentium basic fonts have to be removed as well.

The OpenSymbol font on the other hand can stay.

I will not remove references to the liberation fonts from 
/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu so that when the user installs these fonts separately they are recognized.

Removed liberation and gentium fonts.

Removed liberation and gentium fonts from the more_fonts module.

Checked the documents that are shipped with the office (samples and templates) and found no explicit usage of these fonts.
