l'll add/extend the copyright notices for these 2 blocks

+
> 0.82-1 seems to confirm by guess that the c*ttf fonst are BaKoMa and
> that they are restricted to non-commercial use: That release contains
> file fonts/BaKoMa-CM.Fonts with the following text:
>
>> The author of this fonts grants to any individual or non-commercial

>> This restriction is also true for only outlines from this fonts. i.e.

>>
>> This restriction is not intended to apply to connect time charges, or

0.82-1 is way old and cannot be used as reference.

those fonts are the same as provided by fonts-lyx
