[theme-reviewers] SIL Open Font License

[Siobhan Bamber]

Really? I'm confused about why this site say otherwise in that case. :/
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

It's listed next to the "Free license, incompatible with the GNU GPL and
FDL" colour code. Can you let me know where I can find more information on
this?
