If you would like to work on this, please take a look at this page:

This looks like a modified version of the SIL OFL, so it might be free
enough, although I would strongly suggest to the Braille Institute
they should use a standard license instead of a slightly modified
version of it.
In addition the reserved font name requirement means that Debian
cannot rebuild the font from source without renaming the font, which
would be annoying for Debian users.

This appears to be missing the font source.
