Allegedly you can strip copyright from a font by rasterizing then re-vectorizing each glyph. The rasterization is allegedly not copyrightable, only the path of the glyph is (since it's like a computer program). Generating a vector path from that would have no human authorship, hence the copyright has been stripped from the original font.
And allegedly the measurements and kerning tables of a font are considered "facts" and aren't copyrightable, allowing metrically equivalent fonts to exist, which simplifies this a lot.
This tool should let you upload a font file. Then maybe with opentype.js, it extracts the measurements, kernings, and glyph paths, then renders each glyph then uses some library to turn them into a path. It should default to some MIT licensed font, like Sans Nouveaux. Then it should construct a font file with the new generated paths
It should note some caveats like the font license probably prevents you from reverse engineering it, that the font name may be trademarked, and that the laundered font won't be as optimized or render well at small sizes
