Open Government Data License & CC-BY 4.0

I would like to package the cns-11643 fonts published at
http://data.gov.tw/node/5961 , however the license (
http://data.gov.tw/license ) is the Open Government Data License
published by the Taiwanese government, and is not available in Guix.

According to

https://discuss.okfn.org/t/license-approval-request-open-government-data-license-taiwan-1-0/4593

and the license it's self (clause 4.2) The license is compatible with
the CC-BY 4.0 license, although that is not in Guix either it seems. I
do not understand the legalities, but it seems that this license is only
really usable in Taiwan, and so we should use the CC-BY 4.0 instead.

This is how debian has set their license file:
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/f/fonts-cns11643/fonts-cns11643_98.1+20150923-2_copyright

In any case, I find it all rather perplexing. What is the appropriate
way to deal with this in Guix and how should this package's (license
...) be set?
