Yes, we released these three files initially for OpenOffice under
LGPL2.1 or SISSL 1.1

	http://gsl.openoffice.org/source/browse/gsl/psprint/source/fontsubset

and then I started using them in STSF and we re-released the same files
under the less-restrictive BSD+ license.

Ah, that's the "plus" part of BSD+. I don't believe it is a restriction,
just an acknowledgment.
