It's not a matter of being "daft enough". It would be reasonable for the OP to presume that a lawyer with "expertise in contract law" will identify the ramifications of those license terms. But the lawyer himself might not even realize he lacks the sufficient/requisite understanding of operating systems in order to address the OP's inquiry competently | |

| Jan 10, 2020 at 9:24 | comment | added | Iñaki Viggers | @Nij "What has your lawyer told you?" The OP would be better off by purchasing a separate license of the fonts than wasting his time and money asking some overpriced lawyer. The latter might not even have a clue of what "partition" means. | |

More quotes from the license

| Jan 10, 2020 at 1:21 | comment | added | Matthew Cline | @Nij The license restricts "use or virtualize features of the software separately", " work around any technical restrictions or limitations in the software", " use the software as server software", or "install the software on a device for use only by remote users". Would one of those restrict what I'm doing? | |
| Jan 10, 2020 at 1:19 | comment | added | Matthew Cline | @DaleM Under "applicability" (section 1a) it says that the license covers fonts. | |
| Jan 10, 2020 at 1:09 | comment | added | user4657 | Sure, this is valid - if you completely ignore every other term in the license that might also apply. Have you checked those also? | |
| Jan 10, 2020 at 0:17 | comment | added | Dale M♦ | The fonts are not “the software” and have their own license. | |
