Sorry if I bring some confusion in here. My experience comes from 
graphic business (prepress, to be exact). If the artist comes with 
fonts to the typesetting studio and the studio does not own these fonts 
they are not allowed to feed that job into the machine. The font 
manufacturers try to release that somehow but they have no chance 
anyway. Nobody buys a $100 font to finish a $10 job...

VSL *could* say "We don't bother about the composer. But the studio 
makes full use of our outstanding samples. We have two clients in this 
workflow".

Anyway, this again is speculation. I wrote a mail to VSL to clarify how 
they handle that issue.

Don't know, it was a question :)
