Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-2169:
--------------------------------------------
[~jahewson] IANAL but according to the
[license|http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt] those fonts can only be used
unmodified. You are using a modified version, as you just picked one font out
of 35 and you derived a new version of the font by using font forge. If my
assumption is correct we are not allowed to add such files to svn, see
[previously answered
questions|http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#no-modification]
