I still haven't found a license from Adobe for the Times font, so I will contact the upstream xfree86 maintainers and go from there. I'll post a followup once I have more information.
For anyone interested... The licensing for the Adobe Times font can be found in the original BDF font files provided by XFree86 (e.g. xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi/timB08.bdf). When the font files are converted to PCFs, it appears that the information is stripped out -- even running 'strings' on the file does not find the license. If the license has been stripped out in the conversion, it might be a good idea to put it into the COPYRIGHT file for the appropriate debian packages to make it easier for people to find it in the future. -- Robinson Tryon (from xc/fonts/bdf/75dpi/timB08.bdf, here's a copy of the license) COMMENT Copyright 1984-1989, 1994 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
