Most of Gyre's additions are not glyhs but OpenType tables: kerning,
locale specific typographic rules (locl etc.)

Ah yes okay, now I get it, when you said
"thus, we would not be bottlenecked trying to reach URW"
you didn't mean we don't have to contact URW to arrive at our
destination - we still do - just we aren't bottlenecked from
distributing the Gyre fonts.
Perhaps the Gyre project could release all the glyphs that are not
derived from the original GPL ones as a separate font package with the
GUST license?
