Per the Freetype.org developers the "bytecode interpreter" is not to be used by any distribution because of the TrueType patents held by Microsoft and Apple. Mr. Shuttleworth's blog does not address the patent issues on the bytecode interpreter. Does Ubuntu pay for the license for all the users of the Ubuntu distribution? We need to see that in writing. If it's not licensed then the use of the bytecode interpreter must be disabled in Ubuntu at compilation time.
