The OFL states in the file OFL.txt that "font software" can include
documentation. The file in question is not so much documentation of the
font as it is documentation of the license.

I am still confused. Do the concerns of ftpmaster also apply to
FONTLOG.txt, README.txt, OFL.txt and documentation and examples in the
documentation and web folders?

SPDX [1] has a good explanation in the Notes section. However, changing
the license slightly does not address the current issue.
