Hi,

The license on GNU Unifont isn't valid as you announced on
http://unifoundry.com/ 

Paragraph 5 of the SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE specifically forbids GNU Unifont from
using any other license on the Font, in fact it is immoral to restrict GNU
Unifont which is an official GNU software:

> 5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must be
distributed entirely under this license, and must not be distributed under any
other license.

This also seems to be a violation of the GNU's hosting requirements. 

GNU Unifont must remain under the GNU GPL license without using any other. 

I raise this issue with the License to Severity 5 - Blocker
