For reference, the upstream copyright file:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/extras/ttf2pt1/COPYRIGHT?view=markup

I misremembered (confusing it with the stupid libXaw copyright issue):
it's not actually DFSG-non-free, but just GPL-incompatible IIRC --
advertising clause.  Though the Type1 assembler is one of those
'licences are easy, I'll just write one myself' types. :\

Cheers,
Daniel
