I don't think its really free. If you download, you will be told so:

The question wether you can use the fonts with other programs than  
Adobe Reader
was asked a few times in different lists and the only useful answer i  
found is
the following: http://www.typeforum.de/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&thold=-1&mode=flat&order=0&sid=259

Err, can you provide at least a 1-sentence summary in English?

:-)

IANAL, but TeX users will mostly be using the font only with Adobe  
Reader/Acrobat anyway. So as long as you don't use gs or xpdf :D

[What a nonsensical rule, I doubt it's enforceable]

Best wishes

The question was if it's possible to install the fonts (Minion, Myriad  
etc.)
in the windows font directory and use them with other programs than  
Adobe Reader
(e.g. MS Office) and the answer from Adobe was: “It's no problem to  
use the fonts
with other programs”.
