None of that is relevant.

If there is code in a font that has a license attached to it which does
not meet the DFSG, then it should go out of Debian; not because we're
not allowed to keep it in Debian by the author of said code, but because
we don't *want* it to be in Debian, according to the DFSG.

Whether Adobe has any rights to that code, or whether a court of law
will say that they do, is irrelevant to that argument.

Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you
to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and
save on postage.
