It's mentioned as '100% free' and was added to the VICE project in its 1.22.9 release. The first package version uploaded with it is 2.1.dfsg-1 from March, 2009. Cheers, Laszlo/GCS

There is a .sfd and a .dfont available on the project. More info: https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts#Source_Font_Formats

I have tracked down the origin to https://sourceforge.net/projects/diskimagery64. This is a GPL-2 project so one could assume the font is GPL-2 as well. However, README.txt claims the following: "The fonts were not created totally by myself. I had a scalable commodore TrueType font lying around on on my hard disk and I used it as a starting point. The existing font told me its origins in the header: based on a font by Devin D. Cook with fixes from Chris McBride." So if that font is not GPL-compibly licensed, CBM cannot be GPL licensed. In any way, please also include the source files for the font from the referenced project.
