After a few days thinking to this, I think I can hereby mention that I
don't entirely agree with Karunakar, here. This with all respect I owe
him for his work and commitment.

It means that we should be committed to have softwrae that's as free
as possible.

In the case of these fonts, it is clear that some improvement is
possible. At least, the "spirit" of the original license and what I
understand from the authors' goals does not seem incompatible with
possible improvement.

So, I'd like to know who we should get in touch with to discuss about
the license conditions and a possible way to have the missing bits
added so that the font may be considered free.

Of course, that will need to be very respectful of the initial work
and to avoid what could appear as "bashing" the current license wordig
(in short, not appear as a professor teachin a pupil what a license
should be).

I think I can do that (well, I'm sometimes slightly arrogant in some
ways: I'm not French by error....but I can manage to slow this down).

This is by doing exactly this that we finally were able to include
Sun's Java to Debian, for instance..:-)

So, what we did for Java can probably be done for the AksharYogini
font.
