People,
looking with otfinfo at the files of those fonts (which eneded up in my Linux
without requiring me to accept anything) show me what is in the attachment.
Among other things it states: "You may not copy or distribute this software"!
But I'm not sure what is the real, effective license of it? Monotype Imaging
Inc. EULA as found at http://www.fonts.com/Legal/EOT_Eula.htm? (the provided
license URL is dead).
So what is it, do I really have font distributed with Linux or through some
package management system, which explicitly says, it can't be distributed?!

Description: This remarkable typeface first appeared in 1932 in The Times of London newspaper, for which it was designed. It has subsequently become one of the worlds most successful type creations. The original drawings were made under Stanley Morison's direction by Victor Lardent at The Times. It then went through an extensive iterative process involving further work in Monotype's Type Drawing Office. Based on experiments Morison had conducted using Perpetua and Plantin, it has many old style characteristics but was adapted to give excellent legibility coupled with good economy. Widely used in books and magazines, for reports, office documents and also for display and advertising.
