I've got a personal mail from him.  It seems that he is now
extremely busy, and can't dug out the clear permission
documentation.  He at least found the attached mail.  As the
mail date is three year ago, the contacted person Mr. Anupam
Saurabh may not be in CDAC now.

Hello,

You may go ahead and create fonts for use on Linux. Hope adding credits to 
CDAC in copyright strings or in applications would be possible.

Also, would like to bring to your notice that a group in Hyderabad has also 
developed solution on Linux. I will inform them and interaction between the 
two may help.

Regds

Anupam
