Just wanted to provide this link (that probably everyone knows already,
because it was one of the first links Google spit out when I looked for
the Droid fonts):
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
There it says:

"Free fonts have met their match. We know how hard it is to find
quality freeware that is licensed for commercial work. We've done the
hard work, hand-selecting these typefaces and presenting them in an
easy-to-use format."

So with those fonts, we'd at least be on the safe side, license-wise.

BTW, I have changed now from DejaVu to Droid and like it!
Even though I had to up the size from 12 to 13, Droid is still smaller
(why?) and - at least to me - better readable than DejaVu. It appears
like the yellow window tabs get bigger with larger fonts, but have some
minimum height so they won't shrink as much as one would expect when
using a smaller font.
