Hmmm.  I've just re-read the quote from the GPL that I just sent.  The 
above paragraph isn't really the right interpretation of the quote.  That 
paragraph was supposed to refer to this:

"...If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the 
Program...then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 
sections when you distribute them as separate works."

This quote refers to us distributing the font as a separate entity.  
However, we are not.

There is no mention in the GPL of somebody extracting the font from Pingus 
except for the copyright that Ingo holds on Pingus.  It seems that the 
best anybody can do is alter the font as much as they want as long as it 
remains a part of Pingus.

I think I'll give up trying to interpret the GPL for tonight...

Thanks,
Gervase.
