In fact their license is based on OFL 1.1. They removed PREAMBLE and DEFINITIONS 
sections, added "has no limits on time and territory, but it" to TERMINATION 
section ("TERMINATION & TERRITORY" in their version) and replaced "Copyright 
Holder(s)" with "ParaType" through the text.

Here is ParaType's license:
