My /guess/ is that the font is Public Domain.

For those who didn't figure it out, "police" is French for font...

The impression I got from the forwarded French email was that Carole took some
offence to the idea that we were trying to create an OS for "old computers" -
hence her comment that "we have up-to-date computers which may have English
OS's but on which you can write in Inuktituk."

If the group wants to come up with a message that gets across the idea that
we're not just creating an OS for old gear but a powerful, Free,
fully-localized OS, I'd be glad to help translate it to go back to this Carole
person.
