[tex-live] Non-free fonts in CTAN and TeX Live

I am convinced, that these non-free font directories must be moved
to non-free directory immediately:

fonts/utopia
fonts/LuxiMono
fonts/pandora
fonts/ps-type1/pandora

In addition those fonts must be removed from TeX Live CD-ROM.

BTW in Debian GNU/Linux this thing happened, recently: LuxiMono and
Adobe Utopia fonts of XFree86 were moved to separated Debian-packages
and then those packages were put to non-free -section. Also IBM
Courier experienced the same destiny, but I can't find that font in
CTAN.

On the other hand, I just heard from comp.text.tex , that Robin
Fairbairns is trying to find author of Pandora fonts (N.N. Billawala)
in order to ask her to change the licence of those fonts. Any help for
finding her would be really appreciated.
