+      The Liberation Fonts are intended to be replacements for the three most
+      commonly used fonts on Microsoft systems: Times New Roman, Arial, and
+      Courier New.
+
+      There are three sets: Sans (a substitute for Arial, Albany, Helvetica,
+      Nimbus Sans L, and Bitstream Vera Sans), Serif (a substitute for Times
+      New Roman, Thorndale, Nimbus Roman, and Bitstream Vera Serif) and Mono
+      (a substitute for Courier New, Cumberland, Courier, Nimbus Mono L, and
+      Bitstream Vera Sans Mono).
+
+      You are free to use these fonts on any system you would like.  You are
+      free to redistribute them under the GPL+exception license found in the
+      download.  Using these fonts does not subject your documents to the
+      GPL---it liberates them from any proprietary claim.
