The license of dejavu is:

Original licenses + modifications in public domain

Original licenses are:
- vera
- arev
- tex gyre
all under the same license, from a quick skim

- AMSFonts, which is under a somewhat loosely worded license that allows
  ~everything, which asks *not* to use the copyright notice on any
  modified font.
