I'm looking for a free (meaning 'unrestricted', not just 'costs nothing') font that's as close to Bliss as possible. By this, I mean that the license is as permissive as possible - something like any of these. Can anyone suggest anything?

2Is Open Sans close enough, and with the desired lack of restrictions?– JongwareCommented Feb 18, 2015 at 22:43

@Jongware looks good, and Open Sans is as unrestricted as a font gets, I'd put that as an answer– user56reinstatemonica8Commented Feb 19, 2015 at 17:29

Open Sans is a modern, humanist sans font in a wide variety of weights, from Light to Extra Bold, and with a satisfactory large set of glyphs, including Greek, Cyrilic, and lowercase (medieval) digits.

It comes under the Apache 2.0 license, which allows modification and redistributing (do read the license for specifics).
The bowls of the lowercase characters are different from Bliss -- they are 'standard', sticking out, rather than rounded. The lowercase l is straight, as in many sans fonts, rather than subtly curving.
It seems that I found it: Cabin. It's dual-licenced under the GPL and OFL, and looks pretty much exactly the same.
There's Bariol but it might be a bit too rounded
You can also try Ghandi Sans
and also Rambla
