Hiss...GPL bad. The URW fonts are GPL right? The Adobe Helvetica  License
appears to give more freedom than the GPL. In some ways! Also...The  
Helvetica License is a bit ambiguous (which is BAD).
 

Here is the page with the two ADOBE open font lic info...

Trolltech (now a part of Nokia) makes: 
 
Qt [ pronounced cute]  is a cross-platform application framework. Using Qt, 
you can develop applications  and user interfaces once, and deploy them across 
many desktop and embedded  operating systems without rewriting the source 
code. 
QT is controversial, as it has only been sometimes  maybe sorta GPL 
compliant, windows versions not, forks created by the open  source community, 
etc...It's mainly for c++, but also java  now...
