halfbyte··on Awesome-Fontstacks: free web fonts with failsafes to back them up
Our source is this, so I guess the answer is yes:

http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Museo-Slab

Generally we encourage people to notify us if font licenses change. Which they sometimes do. Which is a shame.

The whole font licensing business is crap, I can agree to that.

Thanks for the flowers (I'm one of the creators of this little project). Regarding the packaging/download: We'd love to do that but it takes a lot of work technically (and currently this is more of a hobby project) and a lot of work regarding the licensing. Although currently all fonts we have should be free for web use, most of them would probably require additional licensing if we would repackage them. We'd love to do cooperations with services like fontsquirrel (most of our fonts are taken from their site and their excellent webfont packager), but that's future talk.

As a closing remark: It was (and still is) a lot of fun to see so many people care for something we built mostly in 48 hours during the railsrumble 2010. We had some additional iterations after that, but the core still is rumble material.
