There was a brief discussion[1] on -legal about this, and it seems that
most of the people who responded (Glenn, Mark and David) agreed that
the license fulfilled DFSG #1 [the aggregate clause].

Further, it was noted that the simple addition of a single character
to the Font Software would (probably) allow it to be sold, so this
clause was pretty easy to work around.
