By curiosity, are they guaranteed to be free forever ?

I know that the current licensing is as open as it can be, but if Google or the actual legal owner changes its mind, will the current users need to go through a clearing of everything they have that uses the font ?

I would guess there’s no guarantee, and wouldn’t take that risk if I was in the BBC.

Open source licenses have no expiry date and allows free redistribution, thus what is currently available will remain free for good.
