I'm probably okay with that, given the discussion. I'd like to run this 
by some more font makers, though, before committing to this wording.

I'd also like, for the sake of precision, to specifically identify the 
OS/2 table fsType embedding permissions as the subject of this 
statement. My reasoning here is that future fonts may contain novel 
permissions data elsewhere in the font, specifically relating to WOFF or 
other web font formats, which some tools may opt to respect.
