  1. The Red Hat Product contains font software which generates typeface designs ("Monotype Font Software").  You may not alter Monotype Font Software for the purpose of adding any functionality which such Monotype Font Software did not have when delivered to you as part of the Red Hat Product.  You may not embed Monotype Font Software into a document which is distributed as a commercial product in exchange for a fee or other consideration.  (For example, End-Users shall not embed Monotype Font Software into an electronic book that is offered to the public for a fee.)
     
  2.

  3. The Monotype Font Software may not be used to create any electronic document in which Monotype Font Software is embedded in a document in a format which may be edited, altered, enhanced, or modified by the recipient of such document.
     
  4. The Monotype Font Software may not be duplicated or copied except for one copy for archival purposes, program error verification, or to replace defective media.  All copies must remain in your possession and bear the copyright notices contained on the original except that an archival copy may be placed for safekeeping in the hands of a third party that otherwise has no right to use such copy.  All archival copies placed in hands of a third party must contain all proprietary notices set forth on the original Monotype Font Software.
     
  5. No copies of the Monotype Font Software may be produced for any purpose other than those purposes expressly permitted in paragraph 2 above.
     
  6. This license does not transfer any right, title, or interest in the Monotype Font Software to you except as specifically set forth herein.  You are on notice that Monotype claims protection of this software product under copyright laws.  The Monotype Font Software may have been developed by an independent third party software supplier, which holds copyright or other proprietary rights to its software product.  You may be held responsible by this supplier for any infringement of such rights by you.
