Apple: It is also interesting to examine the font licensing information given in the licence for Apple’s OS X “Mountain Lion” operating system. (This can be found at http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX108.pdf.)
Clause 1A (“General”) says:
“The Apple software … documentation, interfaces, content, fonts and any data accompanying this License … (collectively the “Apple Software”) are licensed, not sold, to you by Apple Inc. … for use only under the terms of this License.”
Clause 2E (“Fonts”) says:
“Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.”
(Apple’s Font Book application lets you manage the fonts on your computer. If you have a Mac, look in your “Applications” folder.)

The site contains information concerning fonts included with Microsoft operating systems and programs as well as Apple. They also go into more information as to what "embedding" means in the context of font licensing.
