Non-commercially redistributable means it could not be included in the 
game. In my opinion/interpretation, we could only include something that 
is freely distributable/modifiable. So, even the Bitstream Vera fonts are 
out, since they have limitations on distribution and modification.

CC-by would probably be fine for inclusion in the engine; nc or nd are 
out. Not sure about sa.

The font is remarkably ugly, so I'm not really motivated to sort this out 
for inclusion in the engine--but you're welcome to contact him, there's a 
possibility someone making a theme v2 will want to use it.
