Yes. After thinking more than twice, I agree.

I'm not entirely comfortable with the first clause:

> 1. The user acknowledges that this font is released in the memory of Yogini Joglekar

...mostly because I don't really understand what's meant here and who
is this person. This is probably very obvious to the original author
but not me.

Also would "the user ack" mean that every *user* of the font has to
"agree" on these conditions (which raises interesting technical
questions)? Probably not, at least in the author's intent but this,
also, could me made clearer.

Maybe the author could be encouraged to adopt one of the various
existing licenses.

I don't understand what you mean by "non-onerousness" here.
