Well, you can't change the laws, especially not in France, where it gets 
really worse and worse these days.. anyway. 

Its btw the same with a bytecode-enabled freetype2 lib, which you need for 
good-looking truetype fonts. They're are not distributed because Adobe has a 
patent on it (I think in the US). So KDE advertises with a feature that 
looks like crap compared to how it looks under i.e. Windows.
