Hi,

I have some software that uses fonts from standard debian packages, namely:
- various URW fonts (text/gsfonts)
- Bitstream Charter (x11/xfonts-scalable)
- Adobe Times (x11/xfonts-75dpi)

Each URW font file explicitly mentions the GPL, and the COPYRIGHT file
for xfonts-scalable [1] gives an explicit license from Bitstream for
their fonts, but I cannot find explicit permission for the Adobe Times
fonts.

The font files themselves have copyright notices for Adobe and Digital:
 Copyright (c) 1984, 1987 Adobe Systems Incorporated. All Rights Reserved.
 Copyright (c) 1988, 1991 Digital Equipment Corporation.  All Rights
 Reserved.  Times is a trademark of Linotype-Hell AG and/or its
 subsidiaries.

The COPYRIGHT file for the xfonts-75dpi package does not appear to
contain any pertinent information.

Does anyone know where I could find the explicit license from
Adobe/Digital for these fonts?


thanks,
-- Robinson Tryon
