It also does raise one question: how are font vendors going to consider including non-free fonts in DRM-free EPUB documents? This book contains a copy of the Adobe font Minion Pro, which Adobe sells as "embedding: editable." From their web site's summary of their font licensing conditions, this allows the font to be embedded in documents the document-recipient can edit, does not allow document-recipient to install the font on their system for use in other documents.
It's pretty trivial to unzip the OpenType fonts from the EPUB zip archive, but where is the license violation -- in extracting and re-using the font file, or in distributing the document containing the unprotected font file in the first place?
