Of course they don't. This cd is completely "illegal". It's also bloody useful.
Also, bear in mind that EULAs for stuff like codecs and freely downloadable
players have never been legally upheld in India. I'm not distributing it on the
net. I'm going to use it for computers I admin. And if anyone wants a copy,
they're welcome to come get one from me.

as far as license for the msttcorefonts go, they allow redistribution of the
original exes. if they are distributed along with a script that unpacks and
installs the resultant ttfs then it's, IMO (and IAAL) legal. again, fonts have
never been ruled to be a valid subject for distribution restriction under indian
law.

sorry, mailserver was down, riots were happening in delhi, so couldn't reply
earlier.
