 redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts,
 including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or
 sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by
 derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under
 any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this
 license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their
 derivatives.
