Is there such a thing? The font design itself is in the public domain.

I guess I just don't understand exactly what you are looking for.

I think it requires you to pay around $20 bucks to use it. But its weird since the fonts are dated 30' but it had a debut by 2000?

How can you be sure those are free/open source and a lot of fonts look a like so whats the major difference?

Licensing of fonts is a very tricky subject. In some countries, the design and name are protected, and in others only a specific implementation is (so you can do an exact clone and get away with it, and in some countries you can even sell it under the original name).

here is an example of a complain: google for "github dmca 2014-08-27 Monotype-Imaging"
(open source =! free ware) can be true - sometimes open source is very expensive aswell :)
