Provides and documents:

  • all the fonts
  • IME support for NixOS
  • the packaged executable lerfanva is really just ime.sh and
  • lerfanva-clip uses the former to replace clipboard content with transliterated zbalermorna

Are you sure? The font description (at least as stated in font manager when imported) says it's modified from Lato family, which is SIL OFL, and the license is copyleft

If so then I'll happily change it to OFL! I just couldn't find any explicitly stated license for it at the time.

I mean I hope you're right (too lazy to verify myself) but what makes me hesitate is just that it's supposedly1 based on Tengwar Annatar which I can't find a license for. Is that one also modified Lato?

I really don't mind eagerly enforcing copyleft, so I'll take your suggestion for now.

We can kindly ask @Alatius what is the current license of the Tengwar Annatar and if it is not SIL OFL, if it it is possible to license it as such

Reading the pdf included in the files for Tengwar Annatar it explicitly says freeware, copyright belonging to @Alatius. If it can't be open sourced, then the only way Dunda may be considered OFL is if was merely inspired by it but actually a modification of Lato. I don't think "inspired by" is grounds for copyright infringement.
