Fonts sometimes contain copyright data right inside them:
joey@paper:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/big-cursor>zcat *.gz |strings |head -2
COPYRIGHT
These "glyphs" are unencumbered
And:
joey@paper:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi>zcat courB10.pcf.gz | strings
|grep -i copy

Of course, this leads me to wonder if we have a copyright problem with some
of the fonts, since many of them seem to have an "All Rights Reserved"
license, which is 100% non-free. Branden?
