You are right that the original jsMath fonts were the BaKoMa fonts,
but that is no longer the case. The encoding used by the BaKoMa fonts
turned out to be problematic, and so I made my own versions using
mftrace directly from the Computer Modern metafont files. So the
BaKoMa copyright no longer applies.
The Computer Modern fonts were put into the public domain by Knuth
(see http://www.ntg.nl/maps/pdf/5_34.pdf), so I don't think there is
any problem using these versions in Sage.

No, I don't claim copyright.

No, BoKoMa is no longer involved, as these are unrelated to their
versions of the fonts.
