OK. I've worked with our legal department and with our client, and I've received permission to share the font in an encrypted ZIP directory with a request to delete the font when it's no longer needed for development or troubleshooting.
Should I submit a Jira ticket for this issue, our would you prefer if I escalated to the pdfbox-dev mailing list first?
