I think that's unclear. I don't think so, but I don't know the law on
it. Fortunately:

I'm fairly sure that Bitstream Vera isn't the name of Bitstream Inc.
http://www.gnome.org/fonts/ names them Bitstream Vera, as well as
just Vera. Presumably the description could s/Bitstream// without
loss of meaning if there's any doubt, though.
