Hi, sorry this is a bit late, but:

That last "/" should have been a ".".  Oh well.

The patch labelled this license as 'non-copyleft', but I'm not sure
that's right.  It includes this text:

  4) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
  must be distributed entirely under this licence, and must not be
  distributed under any other licence.  [...]

So this ensures that additional restrictions cannot be added later, like
a copyleft license.  I'm not entirely sure it's a free software license
as indicated by 'fsf-free' either, but that's okay because fonts qualify
as non-functional data.  It might be that we don't yet have anything in
(guix licenses) that applies here.  Maybe we need another
license-producing procedure for non-functional works that satify the
FSDG requirements?
