From the zip file:

/----------------------------------------------------------------
Free! Free! Free!

Use it however you wish. Give it away, if you can, but please include
this text file. Link to my site and send me an email if you use it, and
I will add you to my mailing list so you can be the first find out when
I upload more new way-cool fonts.

I will accept gifts and donations, however. If you use it to make some
money, you should definitely send me some, that would be way cool and
the right thing to do. $10 is good for registration, that's not too
much, anyone can afford that.  I may even send you a special bonus font
or font family as described on the website. If you make a lot of money
with it, you really should share some with me because I deserve it and
your God(s) will smile on you, otherwise who knows what might happen...

Hey, I know, you could hire me to design something for you. I could do
that.

If you send me $59.95 I'll send you a disk with the ENTIRE deFaced Fonts
WAY-COOL FONT COLLECTION! How about that for a deal! (collection price
subject to change as more fonts are added! check website for latest info
or e-mail me!)

Do not include in CD-ROM's or other media for sale without my
permission. Not nice & Very Bad Karma! Do not re-mix or otherwise
bastardize my babies either!

Sorry, NO guarantees, NO tech support, NO nothin'!
What you want for nothing, a rubber biscuit!

This licence does not clearly allow all the DFSG-required freedoms:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

Please contact the font author and ask them to licence the font
under a DFSG-compliant font licence such as the OFL:

http://scripts.sil.org/OFL
http://scripts.sil.org/OFL_web
http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ_web

If they are not willing to do so or cannot be contacted, please remove
the font from the binary package and the source package and depend on
another font package or move the package to non-free.

Please contact your upstream and ask them to use fontconfig or similar
to get fonts for use by the software instead of using a specific font.
