as you can see in Article 2 Paragraph 4 of the draft license, when the
fonts are embedded in a digital document file (such as PDF) 
and will stay within the file, then we do not ask to follow the license
(i.e., different file).
In any event, we will allow the users to include the URL of the
difference file when it is required.

Kind regards,

Yuko
