JFTR, "Symbola" font[0] actually is not an opensource and just freeware for personal use, but it was "fully free for any use"[1] till February/March 2018[2]. BTW, Even in actual state "Symbola" is my fav font for emoji input on desktop (via Gucharmap[2]) and mobile (via UnicodePad[3]).

We removed Symbola from the official Arch repositories because of these license changes.

Namely these (paraphrased) snippets:

1) The developer retains all rights to previous, current and future versions of UFAS.

2) Users are prohibited from network installation.

3) Users are prohibited from redistributing UFAS.
