Thanks very much for digging those out. The last one describes what seems a lot like the Apache license -- in other words, there don't seem to be restrictions on commercial use. From what I have read so far, pdfTeX is the implementation that uses the HZ stuff (or something similar) most heavily. Digging through the first reference above led me to http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pdftex.html which indicates that pdfTeX uses the GPL, so we may be out of luck there.
