The normal OFL copyright notice includes for each copyright holder their
legal name, a contact URL and, ideally, an email to contact regarding
copyright inquiries.

I believe the first copyright holders are either "Modular Infotech" or
"Automatic Control Equipments" but I have no contact details for them.

Additionally, one of the fonts in the last release
(lohit-fonts-2.3.8.tar.gz) has multiple copyright holders, lohit_ml.ttf, so
permission will be needed from Hiran to make a 2.3.9 release under the OFL:

$ wget
http://rbhalera.fedorapeople.org/released/lohit/lohit-fonts-2.3.8.tar.gz;
$ tar zxfv lohit-fonts-2.3.8.tar.gz;
$ cd lohit-fonts-2.3.8;
$ showttf */*ttf | grep Copyright | sort | uniq;
