At the risk of opening a huge can of worms, I have a question. Apache has well-defined descriptions of what licenses open-sourced software can have to be redistributed. But does anyone know whether this applies to fonts that get embedded in a PDF when the PDF is generated? As I understand it, unless the font itself is marked "redistributable" in code, it will not be embedded in the PDF, so there should be no actual legal issues. But what does Apache say about requiring the sources to those fonts to be distributed along with the PDF that was generated from it, and getting the font license approved? I'd hope there was some kind of exception for this case since otherwise it would be near impossible to distribute PDFs.
Thoughts? Karl
