from http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html:

- Distribution

I periodically contribute a recent snapshot of all of the above fonts to
XFree86 and they have been shipping as part of the XFree86 releases since
XFree86 4.1. I have also made them available to X.Org for inclusion into one of
the next official X11 distributions as a replacement for the current ISO 8859-1
BDF fonts (hopefully they will be in X11R6.7). The copyright status of these
fonts remains the same as for the original fonts in the X11 distribution,
therefore any X11 server vendors are welcome to include them into their
products without payment of royalties.
