I would argue that distribution of the fonts with plan9port
counts as being with the Plan 9 Operating System, since
that's what plan9port is, just a port of the Plan 9 Operating System
software to Unix systems.
If you pulled the fonts out and distributed them with some
other piece of software, that wouldn't be allowed. But I think
distribution with plan9port is fine.
