There is no issue for selling a modified thing under CC BY-SA. Only in CC
BY-NC-SA, there we have to ask the owner about it. Its hence not something
like CC BY-SA. The term 'without fees' - i believe that the license allows
only redistribution for free of cost, even with modifications. Other than
that all, it looks like the DeJaVu license.[1] For my thoughts, this would
not be a "free" font, as it restricts the commercial redistribution.
