Quoting from the news file: You can freely share and distribute all of the fonts, if you don't sell them directly (with no accompanying software), or change or rename them. Some of these fonts are licensed under the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL), which will give you even more rights as a user and developer. For more details, see the license field of the fonts themselves, and the file COPYING or COPYING.txt in the zip file. Other kinds of licensing is also available from Sharif FarsiWeb Inc, which can be contacted at "info at farsiweb.info". While upstream provides 10 fonts (Elham, Terafik, Terafik Bold, Titr, Roya, Roya Bold, Koodak, Nazli, Nazli Bold, and Homa) only the 4 which are released under the GPL were packaged into Debian. These fonts are Titr, Nazli, Bazli Bold and Homa. The Koodak font is said to also be under the GPL, but carries another copyright and license clauses, and was not packaged for that reason. Info on the fonts can be extracted with ftinfo (from the fttools package) or by simpler means like 'grep -i gpl *.ttf'.
