---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 The Garuda, Loma, Norasi, Purisa, Tlwgmono, Tlwgtypewriter, Kacst*, and
 Paktype fonts used in the OLPC image use a license (GPL) which is
 problematic with document embedding.

 Distributing documents embedding the fonts will have unintented
 consequences for the end-users and the GPL requirements will be very hard
 to follow for these documents.

 It's really less than ideal to have the license of a piece of software
 impacting the license of a document it allows the user to create.

 This needs fixing.
