NO. That is old information. Please check latest IPAfont license.
We can use it as default font right now I guess.

NO. I do not think so.

Ubuntu use VLGothic as default Japanese font since license issue,
yes I know that. (JFYI, PC-BSD use it as default Japanese/Chinese
font too, because of 1CD size limitation.)  But it is lead by
Ubuntu *BINARY PACKAGE SITUATION* and their license policy, that is
not affected to Ports Collection of FreeBSD.

So I believe that IPA font should be used as default Japanese
fonts on most situation, at least by Ports Collection.
How do you make of that?
