Subject: Old version of symbola font as a part of Guix

Hello Guix Users!
I was looking for Symbola font [0] and found a message from 2017 [1] were it was said that "Symbola package can't be a part of Guix due to a really stupid license problem".
Indeed, according to the current license [0] this font can't be added to Guix, but there's an old version back from 2015 [2] where author said "In lieu of a licence; fonts and documents in this site are free for any use;" and in symbola.pdf (from zip archive): "Symbola is not a merchandise; it is free for any use.".
Does these remarks let us add this older version of that font?
