That is the case in most fonts here Reinhard. They do NOT have a license,
their authors disappeared and left just the fonts behind.

Legally (and mathematically) if there is no license -- all is satisfied,
all is granted.
So most of these (not all) could go into getnonfreefonts as-is.

The "Emerald Fontwerk" set license does not fit and I'll work on that.

We should change it to:

          get-non-free-as-in-beer-not-free-as-in-speech-fonts
