Hi,

No? X11 is MIT-licensed, and so are the fonts included. Helvetica has
both Adobe and DEC copyrights:

Bitmap fonts are considered superior by some, and are used by a lot of
people. Go search for some tiling WM's screenshots, and you'll see :)
Also, if you don't like old-school-looking X11 default fonts, maybe try
Terminus, Dina or Tamsyn.
