That's just the short copyright notice, copied from the font file. The
license itself is also in the font file. Extracting it cleanly is a bit
tricky, but supposedly, pfaedit can do it. Just opening the file in a
text editor also works, or you can read it here:

Redistributing them is no problem, but I don't know what the FSF/GNU
thinks of the license.
