I don't see that license text either, but there are several weird
references to adobe in fontforge/othersubrs.c which i don't really know
how to interpret clearly.

well, the specific text i pointed out as problematic is gone. But there
are still provocative statements like:
These subroutines are code by Adobe for this exact use (from
T1_Spec.pdf)
or:
static const char *copyright[] = {
"% Copyright (c) 1987-1990 Adobe Systems Incorporated.",
"% All Rights Reserved.",
"% This code to be used for Flex and hint replacement.",
"% Version 1.1",
NULL
};
but i confess i've lost track of how to interpret them, sorry :(
