Thanks for taking care of this. Let me ask you, did you find it
anywhere, especially with a non-free licence?

I have tracked down the origin to 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/diskimagery64.
This is a GPL-2 project so one could assume the font is GPL-2 as well.
However, README.txt claims the following:

"The fonts were not created totally by myself. I had a scalable commodore
TrueType font lying around on on my hard disk and I used it as a starting
point. The existing font told me its origins in the header: based on a font by
Devin D. Cook with fixes from Chris McBride."

So if that font is not GPL-compibly licensed, CBM cannot be GPL licensed.

In any way, please also include the source files for the font from the  
referenced project.
