Comment (by MatthiasReinholz):

 Thank you @luminuu and @luehrsen for raising this!

 I have a small remark regarding the font to be bundled in Twenty Twelve.

 The WordPress Theme directory maintains a list of licenses compatible with
 GPL. The docs say that any bundled font is **required** to be licensed
 under one of the licenses mentioned here:
 https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/resources/#gpl-
 compatible-font-licenses

 Not sure if this requirement is also important in this context?

 I came across the potential issue of bundling the font Open Sans with
 Twenty Twelve.
 According to Google Fonts, this font is licensed under the Apache License
 2.0 which is **not** part of the allowed list of licenses. (see
 https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans?query=open+sans#license)

 I checked all the other bundled fonts in all other mentioned themes and
 they're ok as released under the SIL Open Font License.
