Review the attribution to build script.

0de63ed5

is the first instance of the build script.

Per point 12 in https://rajeeshknambiar.wordpress.com/2019/11/25/public-statement-by-rachana-institute-of-typography-on-the-copyright-credit-issue-of-smc-and-rit-fonts/

"The Fontforge based ‘build script’ added by Santhosh used to generate TTF/OTF/WOFF/WOFF2 files is adapted from that of Amiri font by Khaled Hosny [7] without preserving copyright or attribution. RIT requests to credit the original author[s] of this tool. It is of our opinion that removing copyright statements from a free software program code is illegal and immoral. It is also hypocritical when a person who asserts one’s own credit does this crime to other well-known and respected free software developer[s]."

The Amiri font build script is here : https://github.com/alif-type/amiri/blame/master/tools/build.py

Review the validity of this claim, and verify whether attribution needs to be given anywhere, or if it has already been given.
