I don't think there's any agreed-upon legally-binding definition of "embedding". You could claim including the fonts in an ePUB (without obfuscation) is embedding, and not redistribution. Sure, the user can unzip the file, but you could argue that's "circumventing" and "hacking", in normal usage, fonts in an ePUB file are only usable for viewing that file.
