The EULA can be found here:
http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=1537&offset=60&rows=67#31074
(at least, I think this is the same one, I may be wrong), and it says:
[...]
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following rights:

Installation and Use. You may install and use an unlimited
number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

Reproduction and Distribution. You may reproduce and distribute
an unlimited number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT; provided

Based on this, it doesn't seem to matter where the fonts come from.
