Yeah I think that's the main problem... Most authors who don't have contact with publishing houses or other industry bodies probably won't be aware...
So I think there could be, if the makers of the fonts, which people are embedding decide to go looking, some very unhappy people out there who have embedded fonts without knowing the licensing conditions.

4. Font Embedding.
The basic P22 license allows for the embedding of P22 fonts only if the document created is set to "Print and Preview". If P22 fonts can be extracted, edited and therefore transferred in any way, an additional license is required to account for each recipient of the document and font file(s)

And from Linotype website:
Quote:

1.5 Embedding of the Font Software into electronic documents or Internet pages is only permitted under the absolute assurance that the recipient cannot use the Font Software to edit or create a new document (read-only). It must be ensured that the Font Software cannot be fully or partially extracted from said documents.
