Thanks jan,
The designer allready uses the font, and i am his client here.

As ale advised on irc, i looked at the licence on the site,
and could roughly understand that editing the doc that uses the font
seems to be the question leading to a licence or not.
So i dont need a licence in case the designer sends a PDF that i wont edit.
