If you are refering to site where you downloaded the font from, then no,
you'll find no copywrite there - of course not. However if you look in
the font you downloaded you *will* find the copywrite within the font
itself.

Your licenced copy of Office 2007 authorizes you to use the fonts
supplied with that OS while using that OS. Search the archives for
similar discussions.

You might want to instead:

$ sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended

That will give you:
 This package includes the following CTAN packages:
 adobeuro -- font metrics for the Adobe Euro fonts.
 avantgar -- the URW Avantgar fonts and support for the Adobe font set.
 bookman -- the URW Bookman fonts and support for the Adobe font set.
 charter -- Charter fonts.
 cmextra -- No caption.
 courier -- The courier package.
 euro -- Arbitrary national currency amounts using the Euro as base unit.
 euro-ce -- Euro currency symbol and CE mark.
 eurofont -- Provides a command that prints a euro symbol.
 eurosans -- Interface to Adobe's free Euro fonts.

 fpl -- SC and OsF fonts for URW Palladio L
 helvetic -- the URW Helvetiva fonts and support for the Adobe font set.
