OK, so it's not "distributing different formats under the same
user-visible font name" that is the problem, it is <i>deriving </i>(e.g.,)
a PFB from (e.g.,) a TTF and giving the PFB the same name as the
TTF. OK, now I understand. If the font vendor derives one format
from another then there is no problem, but if someone else does the
same thing, then the derived font must have a new name. That makes
sense.<br>
