Chemmozhi GPL fonts with font exception

[shakthimaan]

Can you let me know if the Chemmozhi family of GPL fonts have the special font exception too?

"As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version."

No, they are with GNU GPL license only and are not inclusive of FE as I looked at source staements via Fontforge in Linux.

If FE is desirable to have, should we approach upstream ICTA, Sri Lanka for change of licence to GPL+FE (or SIL OFL) or do we have the liberty to release them under another name with FE (or SIL OFL license)?

No, you need to ask ICTA, Sri Lanka for the font exception.
