Given your analysis I completely agree. On 23 Sep 2015 16:44, "C R" <cajhne@...400...> wrote:
I have also added the Signature glyphs to the bottom. While it's possible they could have just been removed/replaced for utilitarian sake, it doesn't change the fact that most of this font is whole-sale ripped off of the original. I believe even a single glyph copied from a copyright font is potential grounds for litigation.
I say, let's not take the risk.

Yes, node comparison was the first thing I checked. I figured since the original vectors are in the pdf file, one could compare the nodes themselves if there were any doubt. I have added a node data comparison to the file for ease of viewing however:

Unless the original creator of the font specifically made it an open license, this is a stolen font. Adding/changing a few glyphs to a proprietary font and re-posting it as creative commons, does not make it creative commons.
I have done a comparison of the glyphs in the original Pushkin font (Copyright [c] A.S.Puskin & ParaType, 1999) and the "newPushkin" font downloaded from that page.

Did you actually compare the nodes of the individual glyphs? While I don't think that it's the case here it would still be possible that the original font was redrawn with the same look, however AFAIK only the actual vector information of a font is copyrighted, not the look.
Someone has egregiously ripped-off this font, even going as far as to remove the author's signature glyph from the original.
This is a claim not being proven by your visual comparison. So better back it with data.
It should be taken down immediately from all Libre projects.
