Dear sankarshan
Initial license of raghu font series was confusing. But later they
changed it to gnu gpl, as per the insistance of RK joshi. Gnu gpl
licensed fonts were released as a part of Indix project of cdacmumbai.

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.
