When LibreOffice exports into a PDF with embedding and subsetting fonts,
the remaining PDFs do not contain the fonts’ copyright notices and
licence terms. This may violate the licence of some fonts, especially
Free fonts (e.g. under Apache 2).

I tested this both with Okular (extract font) and qpdf --qdf, and
neither showed me anything even resembling the original fonts’ texts.

This is still pertinent (tested by extracting the font with
mutool then loading the resulting .pfa in FontForge).
