I believe they are actually compressed with UPX. While UPX itself is
GPL, I think the "stubs" are free from any restrictions (if you don't
modify them). Therefore, I don't think we need to include any actual
"code" with these fonts as sources. If someone wants to modify them,
IIRC you just "ren *.cpx *.com && upx -d *.com" and continue from
there.
