Free documents using non-free fonts - can they be in main?

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi,

I'm wondering whether a document that's licensed under a DFSG-free
license, with TeX/sgml/whatever sources available and all, may use
non-free fonts.  For example, the LaTeX source would contain

\usepackage{lucidabr}

and you'd be able to create the document from that source only if you
have either the commercial or otherwise non-free font installed, or you
replace/remove that line.  Assuming that the original author has the
right to distribute and let re-distribute PDF files using that font
without limits, would it be okay for main to distribute the compiled
document (PDF) in the binary package, and the sources in the source
package?

Regards, Frank
