Hi,
thank you everybody for you interesting comments.
I agree with MJ Ray that using this font is more "mere aggeregation" than linking. The interested company wants to install the font in the OS like any other font. So the font and the product of the company are 2 unrelated works (thanks Simo).
Sam: The ttf file itself is the source in this case. I never had anything else.
So I think the company is allowed to give away the font with their product if they include a copy of the license...?
Thanks Lars Naber

Did you draw the font yourself, or is it a conversion of the MS bitmap FixedSys?
Hi,

some time ago I needed a true-type-version of this font.
During my search I stumbled on Markus Gebhard´s homepage, where he offered a fixedsys.ttf download. Markus found this font on the net, and he has expanded it with some characters that he considered to be very important.
Travis Owens is the author of the first version. He released it for further development.
It was completeley newly drawn. It's not a simple conversion.
