These are valid concerns. I can assure you that the newly commercial ones
will have certain font metadata that are unique to the transition. There
are other things that will tell the difference, too. There won't be nearly
as many glyphs as in the earlier files because I had to completely separate
them from Emmentaler in order to put them under the new license at all.
There's also the OS's creation date that's embedded in each file. Pretty
much anything with a creation date prior to January 1, 2016 is in the
"open-source" category. I'm not really concerned what anyone might do with
them because they are subject to their own licenses and I know what's
legally allowed and what's not.

The point to all this is to let you know there are lots of ways a lawyer
could find out the needed info, so you'll be covered.

Hopefully that can bring you some peace of mind over the situation. If not,
please don't hesitate to ask more questions and I'll do my best to answer
them.

Best,
Abraham
