 Not sure if it'd even be possible, but what if Open Sans was loaded from a
 WordPress.org controlled CDN? basically a caching proxy of the existing
 Google-hosted font? That is more acceptable to me from a philosophical
 pov.. but would still raise privacy concerns from some people, and may
 shift more liability towards wporg in certain cases.
