CDACMumbai have a history of GPL Licensing one font series as a part of their indix project , Raghu Series, by Late. Prof. R.K.Joshi, Famous Calligrapher and Researcher in Type faces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_K_Joshi Rebranding his Jana Series fonts to raghu series & GPLing them was his long term effort from inside CDAC. But its font tables need to be corrected to make them usable .
The 'GPL' that these fonts had was the 'General Public License' wasn't it ? And not the GNU General Public License. I may be mistaken though etc.
I've been, in the past, known to berate and sigh C-DAC. In recent times I've arrived at the conclusion that there's no upside thinking that TDIL/MinIT/C-DAC will eventually figure out that selling services around their products make for a better business case than trying to hawk the products themselves. Or, that LGPL licensing their products might make it easier to have an application developer network around it.
