[theme-reviewers] bundled resources

[carolina poena]

yeah it's tricky... so as long as they "allow thier usage on sites" -it doesnt have to be one of these? 
What if theme is GPL2 and font GPL3? 
 
Fonts bundled with Themes submitted to the WordPress Theme directory are required to be licensed under one of the following font licenses:
Arphic Public License (Arphic)Baekmuk License (Baekmuk)Bitstream Vera License (Bitstream Vera)GNU GPL (with font exception) (GPL)GUST e-Foundry Font License/LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL)IPA Font License (IPA)Liberation Font License (Liberation)LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL)mplus Font License (mplus)ParaType Font License (PTFL)SIL Open Font License (OFL)STIX Fonts User License (STIX)Wadalab Fonts License (Wadalab)XANO Mincho Font License (XANO)
