Anyway they had written "true and complete copy", don't trust their
current interpretation of the sentence, because surely M$ don't want to
distribute that fonts anymore.
I suggest to ask for a debian-legal interpretation of the sentence.
IANAL, but "true and complete copy" seems to me fullfilled if I embed
this true and complete copy in somewhat else (e.g. a tarball).
Cheers.
