Dror, you've put LICENSE="as-is" there but I failed to find anywhere information about license for this font. More, font information (as seen by font forge) contains following:

© 1990-2000 Apple Computer Inc. © 1990-97 Type Solutions Inc. © 1990-97 The Font Bureau Inc.  TrueType outline design of Monaco typeface created by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow.

I think license should be clarified before we add this font to the tree...
