None of the other browser makers want to implement
the protection features of that proposal.  If 
people who currently have restricted license fonts
in the wild in EOT were to assert that other browsers
should go ahead and implement EOT but without any
kind of enforcement, some other browser implementers
would likely still object but the case in favor would
at least be a lot stronger.
