Is this license compatible with the FSDG. It seems to restrict
redistribution (no copy of the typefaces may be sold by itself). WDYT?

Otherwise, this package LGTM.

We've had this before - I simply copied the license line from the Bitstream Vera font

Pushed, thanks! I changed the home-page to https://opendyslexic.org/ and
made a few minor changes to the description.
