Judging by the interview on http://www.kde.nl/apps/konsole/en/interview.html, 
I would say that Lars Doelle has the copyright on console*.gz, and probably 
all three of them.  Of course, console* is supposed to be pixel-for-pixel the 
same as the actual Linux console, which probably would mean that whoever made 
the Linux console font holds the copyright for that. :-)

As for 9x15.pcf.gz, it sounds like a font that would be included with X11, so 
perhaps the copyright is held by the X11 Consortium, or whatever they're 
called now.  I'm not sure about that one.
