Font license and inclusion in debian (RTP 719605)



Dear Debian legal team,

I was pointed to a font and thought it would be a fine addition to
Debian. But the text of its license makes me wonder if it can be
included. I did some search, and I think it can be included, at least in
non-free. I was wondering if the no derivative clause would prevent it
from being included in the main archive. Reading it again, I see there
is also a no commercial use of the font, I’m getting sure it can not be
in main. Can it be in non-free then?

I’ll include the text of the license for ease of reference.
