Microsoft font licenses #897

Hi,

There is a font used at

https://github.com/Stuk/jszip/blob/main/test/ref/complex_files/Outlook2007_Calendar.xps/Resources/b80cd388-2afe-401d-b9cd-f9796222bde5.ODTTF

that is licensed under the terms of license agreement from Microsoft as per the data from the webpage, https://www.fonts.com/font/monotype/arial/licenses.

We could see terms of license in the font file as well. The following was found in the file:

"
You may use this font to display and print content as permitted by the license terms for the product in which this font is included. You may only (i) embed this font in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions included in this font; and (ii) temporarily download this font to a printer or other output device to help print content.© 2006 The Monotype Corporation. All Rights Reserved.Arial is a trademark of The Monotype Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.Monotype:Arial Bold:Version 3.14 (Microsoft)Arial-BoldMTMonotype Type Drawing Office - Robin Nicholas, Patricia Saunders 1982You may use this font to display and print content as permitted by the license terms for the product in which this font is included. You may only (i) embed this font in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions included in this font; and (ii) temporarily download this font to a printer or other output device to help print content.
"

In the above paragraph, it is written that the fonts may be licensed under the license terms for the product in which this font is included. So, going by this statement, I can assume that the license is the same as that of either Outlook2007 (if it is the product) or jszip (if it is the product).

It is ambiguous. Can you please let me know the license of the fonts?
