Please note that a 'nc' (non-commercial) license is generally not compatible
with most other FOSS licenses (which allow use for any purpose, including
commercial). This usually prevent inclusion in official repositories of
linux distributions.

I think before asking favours from the author, you may want to check
what is needed for the fonts to be bundled with Linux distributions.
One example may be found here:

Also, Culmus project may also be used as a good example to licensing
decisions and the impact they have -- Culmus is bundled by any Linux
distribution on the planet... another oportunity to thank
Maxim Ioresh for his work again.
