Squeak's readme mentions
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/eula.htm as URL for the
Microsoft license. As I understand it, Squeak is violating that
license. The license is quite open but it doesn't allow to derive another
representation of the font but only to include its printed representation
in a document and I think, a Squeak image doesn't qualify as a document...
