The repository <https://github.com/googlefonts/RobotoMono> now contains
a license (Apache 2.0, unsurprisingly).

The description should be much shorter, such as:

  "Roboto Mono is a monospaced addition to the Roboto type family.  Like
the other members of the Roboto family, the fonts are optimized for
readability on screens across a wide variety of devices and reading
environments."

I wonder about the version. How do you know it is 2.136? I don’t see any
reference to that number in the repository.

Also, the commit hash should be let bound around the package.
