Regarding the license, there are two types of pacakges

1. fonts-android[1] included the binary fonts, which is licensed under Apache-2.0.
2. fonts-source-sans-pro[2]/fonts-source-code-pro[3], which required proprietary Adobe ADFKO to be built from source. That makes not DFSG-compatible.

Google Noto fonts[4] is same with Adobe Source hans sans[5], it depends how Debian/Ubuntu pack the font as debian packages.
If the package need to be built from source, then it need Adobe ADFKO, which make it not DFSG-compatible
