The first two paragraphs under "License Rules." It reads to me like
fonts should be treated identically to other software and be available
in source form. Which I guess doesn't exactly mean we need to build from
source, but when a user runs `guix build -S font-foo`, they may not get
the preferred format for making changes.

I would agree with that. I was referring to the discussion about Adobe
Source Code Pro, starting with Mark's message here:
