When using the java application org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader
to convert a TTF file to an XML metrics file, I get this message:

This font contains no embedding license restrictions

Does this mean that I can distrubute this font to FOP users legally?

I am actually getting this font from 

http://www.clipserver.de

This website states that the fonts in question actually are copyrighted
to various foundries. However, it appears that the foundries themselves
have not put any restrictions on the use of their true-type fonts. (I
believet these foundrries would charge and restrict for the post-script
version of their fonts.)

I just want to make sure that since there are no licensing restrictions
within the TTF file, that means the foundry is allowing it to be used
and distributed, as long as users didn't try to sell the font or make
money off of it in any way.
