Hi!
The license of this file seems to be in conflict with the freedom of modifying the source (since if I want to keep a reference from where this document comes from, I cannot modify it by the first paragraph of that file).

The easiest away to circumvent this for people distributing your software would be that you just remove this header, and make it a derivative (with exactly the same content). This is allowed according to the second paragraph of the license. This new file would be then distributed under the same license as the rest of the files.

Or you could use this file:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aglfn.adobe/files/glyphlist.txt/download
which has exactly the same content, but another (less restrictive) license.

That sounds reasonable, I've removed the header from the file in the master branch.

I'm planning to release a 1.0rc gem late next week sometime after I finish a few code reviews, I'd suggest holding off on re-packaging it for debian until then.
