Prioritizing freely licensed fonts while also explicitly naming the preferred non-free fonts seems like an easy fix.
Again, this is already done for us by fontconfig when presented with the ASCII sequence "H e l v e t i c a". There's no reason for our font stack to do it unless some freely-licensed font looks better than the non-free font; also it will work against the brave and few who follow steps like http://www.binarytides.com/gorgeous-looking-fonts-ubuntu-linux/ to adjust the appearance of those well-known names.
