This sounds like the license used by TeX and METAFONT (www.tux.org). I can 
understand the author's sentiments about not allowing any modifications under 
the AksharYogini name.

Would the author allow modifications if the changes are released under a 
different name with an attribution to the source of inspiration? Surely, the 
intent of the author to perpetuate the memory would be better served if the 
font is allowed to evolve over the years?
