Roboto!!!

This font, like all fonts included with Android, is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. So yes, it is a free font.

(You can verify this by downloading the Android 4.0 platform SDK)

Android 4.0 was announced today along with a new font called Roboto which
some say is an improvement over Droid Sans. I'm curious if any of you have
tried it yet and if you did, is it free software compatible like Droid?

The archive linked to is nonfree, since no license is included.

I understand "free software compatible" fonts as fonts which are free
software and can be used or edited by other free software. The second
point is true for nearly all modern fonts.

I don't like how "ą" is designed in this font, it's noticeably different
than in all other text fonts which I know.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but I found the complete TTF package at http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/roboto which unlike the OMG Ubuntu post, has the condensed fonts and license included in the zip file. You guys should definitely include the full set in your repositories for all supported releases.

P.S. Have you guys thought about including Ubuntu 0.80 fonts for all your supported releases? The package of course can be found at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-font-family-sources/?C=M;O=D
