I would definitely encourage you to read about what you’re posting about before commenting scathingly.
The original font was not the same name; it already has a new name, mentioned both in the article and on the League Gothic site. Additionally, the OFL is essentially just saying that people can’t take their work and sell it alone. It doesn’t prohibit reuse, sale of documents using it, people creating new fonts using it, or even people selling products with it included. I hardly think that qualifies as “abuse of the copyright system”. It’s about as tame of a license as you can get, and completely acceptable for this type of work. Protects your work from open abuse (people selling your font file on their font sales website, for example) while allowing open redistribution, alteration, etc.
