[Wolves] Legality of Windows/Mac fonts in Linux?

[Mo Awkati]

 Jono
when I installed SuSE 9.0 on my PC I did an update
with YaST2. One of the packages that were selected for
me was MS Fonts. The license, if I remember right,was
that to be used for personal use because I had to
accept it before it was installed.  I think its still
on the pc somewhere, I'll try and find it.
