Almost everything you'll want to know about FOP's Font related stuff is 
here (configuring, adding, default fonts, etc.):

http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html

As for  font licensing, that's a little out of the scope of this 
project. IANAL, but if you are licensed to use a font, then I suspect 
you are within your rights to build a PDF file with said fonts. When 
you get the font, I suspect that it will come with a license which 
identifies what you can do with said font.
