Precedence: bulk

The Hebrew and Chinese/Japanese/Korean glyphs are gnu unifont derived
and therefore GPL.

The Hershey fonts have a permissive licence and Kicad in fact uses the
Hershey sans stroke font for their footprint annotations.

The converted Hershey fonts can be redistributed with the same licence
they came with, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hershey_fonts

I am more than happy for them to be bundled/distributed.

Cheers,

Erich.
