Description

According to what I can determine, profont was blacklisted some time in 2012 or earlier for having unclear licensing.
That reference being:
https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/181

The profont developer's blog lists that this font is now licensed under listed as MIT as of 2014.

"After the license situation had been unclear for a few years, ProFont now is published using the MIT license, allowing you to copy and modify ProFont without limitation (see included LICENSE file for more information)."

The FSF license list and a diff indicates the license is actually Expat.
