There is a significant difference between these two licenses.  You can
satisfy the SIL font license by packaging _any_ program with the font.
Even a short program.  That is easy and painless.  We can consider it
a trivial requirement.

The Steel Sky license requires packaging a "larger & possibly commercial
software distribution" with it.  That is not a trivial requirement.

A trivial packaging requirement is ok because it is trivial.
A burdensome packaging requirement is not ok.

Have I explained clearly?
