Thanh already asked whether he is allowed to distribute modified versions of the fonts and they told him that only the X Consortium can decide. That means that they did not only grant the right to distribute the fonts to the X Consortium, but they donated the fonts with all rights to them and abandon their own rights. > Since they don't actively market them as far as I know, doing so > for something which is presumed to be in the open, anyway, might > be good PR. When Sebastian presented pdftex at Adobe, they had been amazed that pdftex can do things they cannot do with their own tools (I suppose that Hans Hagen provided some files). This was years ago, but meanwhile Thanh provided many microtypographical extensions. If things evolve in the future as they did in the past, I suppose that pdftex is not good PR for Adobe, it's more likely that they regard pdftex as a competitor.
