I don't agree that this clause is DFSG-free.
It says that the name of an augmented font cannot *include* the term
STIX or *any similar* term.
That is significantly broader than what is allowed by DFGS#4, which
states (in part):
| The license may require derived works to carry a different name or
| version number from the original software.
For instance, names such as STIX++, STIXng, newSTIX, STIXER, STICS,
STHIX, and so forth, are banned by the above clause, but they are
*different* from the original name, and thus comply with the maximum
DFSG-allowed restriction on names.
