The full name of its license is SIL Open Font License 1.1, and:

"The Open Font License (including its original release, version 1.0)
is a free copyleft license for fonts. Its only unusual requirement
is that when selling the font, you must redistribute it bundled with
some software, rather than alone. Since a simple Hello World program
will satisfy the requirement, it is harmless. Neither we nor SIL
recommend the use of this license for anything other than fonts."
