Hi,

it seems that Apache Ambari is also shipping Font Awesome:
https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-web/app/assets/licenses/NOTICE.txt
They state that it has the Creative Commons license. But I agree with you,
the website says it is OFL licensed.

But the website that lists all cleared licenses has OFL as category B:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b
See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-112

So from my point of view, everything is okay with this license.

Robert
