I need those fonts for kformula(2).
This is the license the author send me.

There is a "without additional fee. "

What does it means ? Could Caldera,Suse,RedHat etc distribute KDE if we
include this package ?

What does "additional" mean ?

Bye
Andrea

License available in CTAN is old. I can't found time to update it.
On every request about new license I send following information:

You may distribute BaKoMa/CM and BaKoMa/AMS fonts 
(whose are available from CTAN:fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma)
without additional fee.
However, following requirements must be sutisfied:
    (1) Your product must include information that a font packs 
        from `BaKoMa Fonts Collection' are included.
        You must provide names of these font packs (BaKoMa/CM and BaKoMa/AMS).
    (2) Original location of these font packs on CTAN must be present.
    (3) You must inform users that most recent version of these fonts
        and another TeX/MF fonts in Type 1 font format are available together
        with BaKoMa TeX 3.10 which is available at any CTAN site:
          <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/index.html>
	Information about `BaKoMa Fonts Collection' is available from:
          <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/dst/fonts.html>

NOTE: BaKoMa Fonts Collection is generic name for a many font packs
      with different licenses. Mentioned license conditions are valid
      only for BaKoMa/CM and BaKoMa/AMS font packs available from 
      CTAN:fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma. 
      
redistribution of BaKoMa/DC font pack in addition to mentioned requirements 
must include information:
  `DC fonts are obsolete. Recent version is EC fonts, whose are available 
   in ATM Compatible Type 1 fotn format together with BaKoMa TeX.
   See: <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/dst/fonts.html>'.
