Hi Yasu,
I don't think it'll be so simple. It appears, that nerd-fonts already
includes – or at least has the potential to include – some non-free
glyphs, which would in turn then be part of Cascadia. An instance
would be pomicons [1], which are licensed as CC BY-NC-ND. A reviewer
would first have to verify, that Cascadia is indeed wholly covered
under the OFL or at least under a set of free licenses.
Yes, it sucks having to put that much effort into packaging a font, but
if you just want to have a workable font for programming, there are
probably better solutions than Cascadia, some of which are already
packaged in Guix – e.g. font-fira-code.
Regards,
Leo
