A Type1 version of Nimbus Sans L was donated by URW to the GhostScript
project and can be found in the package gsfonts. License is GPL +
embedding clause. If the TTF was converted from this version, this
should be fine. There exists also a TTF version of Nimbus Sans L as part
of the GhostPCL project, which ia only available under the non-free
AFPL.
