Being hosted under the "googlefonts" username mostly indicates that the original upstream repo/site no longer exists or something similar. Can you be more specific about the existence of the RFN(s)? I don't see that on the repo above. So it's possible that either (a) the designer removed the RFN after being asked to do so (which is not uncommon; a lot of folks don't fully understand its downstream effects and just add them without determined intent) or (b) Google Fonts separately negotiated an RFN exception. With a font project that old, I'd be surprised if it was a separate negotiation, but it's clearly important to determine which case it is.
