You should carefully check the license of each font on Google Fonts. They're not all under the same license. Yes, many of them are permissively licensed, but that doesn't mean you have the right to redistribute the ttf/otf file yourself as part of an application, since you need to comply with the terms of the license as it is written.

Ah, I thought they were all permissively licensed! Good to know. Can I at least distribute the woff2 of each?

Is there any common thing that I can do with all the Google fonts? I suppose I can at least look to them from a website? But not necessarily self-host?
