My comment was not intended nor constructed (AFAIK) as a Marvin "flame." Let's face it. Our lives are full of a host of anxieties, yet somehow we have to go on, yes, in spite of those out there who are a pain in the ass.
But let me deconstruct my tongue-in-cheek comment a bit. The internal documents of a company are neither intended nor distributed for general consumption, and realistically, the idea that one would want to copyright in any sense an internal document is a bit of a non-sequitur. Once one of your documents is out there in the public eye, it's gone (sorry), with or without its associated font. So let's imagine Company X has a load of internal documents composed of GPL'd fonts. Who is the person/organization/agency that would say, "You must release these documents"? (Ok, except for SCO.) At any rate, as noted by others, your points are well taken. At this point people (I think) understand the issues you raise, and are either going to change their approach, or not. Yet another stone on the anxiety heap we all get up with every day. Scribus is bigger than this, and more important than this one issue. Greg
