I notice that ASF pdfbox LICENSE.TXT includes the *unmodifiable* Adobe glyph
list, saying the following in LICENSE.txt:

Glyphlist (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html)

   allowed; and
   - The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be

So there does appear to be at least one exception to the modifiable rule.
Perhaps we can use this precedent to resolve our issue?
