What do you mean? There is no ¨freeware” in the license package.
And what is "freeware" license? There are a thousand different freeware licenses.

PKGBUILDS are just like this sort of blog entry - just more to the point with less commentary. You would not upload the fonts to any AUR server - just the instructions for other users to go get them from the 'owners' site.
You will need the appropriate license in the PKGBUILD. The StarWars font page lists it as "Freeware" which would go under license.

No what concern me most are license issues:
While they are all free to download, that doesn't necessary mean redistribution is also allowed.
Now there are some fonts I want to package. On the one hand those are the typical star wars fonts as you know them (found here) and the Franklin Gothic familiy (most importantly "Demi" found here).
Now I know software comes with a license and so do fonts and images also have one. But I wouldn't even know who I needed to contact if I want to redistribute those fonts. The Franklin Family seems to be widely used and I can find out who the typographer was, but I cannot find any licensing information. What does that mean? Is anyone font expert enough to tell me if (and how) licensing with fonts differs or what to look for?
Thanks in advance,
