Wild idea:

The AFDKO is Apache licensed. Would it be possible to install theafdko-bin package and use its /usr/libexec/afdko/detype1 and/usr/libexec/afdko/type1 scripts to disassemble and reassemble the fontfiles? And will this probably replace the code in question with itsApache licensed pendants?
