Proprietary fonts don't (generally) require you include the font source
with your document and a notice stating where they are, or if commercial
possibly a written offer for their supply. They have proprietary but
-sane- licensing interactions. GPL has free but idiotic interactions.
There are other much better open source font licenses that don't blow up
like this.
