Yes that is true.

They do as described in debian/copyrights, and they hang out in #ascii 
on irc,
their answer a week ago only to irc was (unfortunately there was no 
reply to the github issue):

<tarzeau> can i get an answer to 
https://github.com/rewtnull/amigafonts/issues/5 please?
<@truck> "These fonts are replications, not conversions, of the original 
fonts.  As such, they are derivative works. I can relicense them, as 
they are mine. There is no upstream."
<@dMG> thank you truck for clearing it up, that is basically in line 
with what i was thinking to answer too :)

 From what I understood, yes it was.
