Via recent email discussion with Asana Math's author he explains that:

- he hasn't touched Palladio
- pxfonts was used as the basis of his design for many glyphs but not
everything
- he has explicit permission to relicence from the author of pxfonts

I recommended he put this information in a more complete readme file (or
better a FONTLOG http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Fontlog ) and in the
font metadata.

There was ftp://ftp.inria.fr/pub/TeX/CTAN/fonts/Asana-Math/README.1ST
already.

We should take this in good faith, but if there are problems upstream of
 pxfonts itself, then it's another story...
