can Libertine fonts be embedded in non-gpl application?

[Brandon Casey]

I am interested in embedding the Libertine font within an application at
work, so that this application can produce documents using the Libertine
font.  The target systems will not have the Libertine fonts installed.  I
know I can distribute the font files along side the application, but it
would be nice if that was not necessary.  The Libertine fonts are licensed
as GPL with a font embedding exception.  The wording of the exception talks
about embedding the fonts in a "document".  Would embedding the font within
the application (non-gpl) fall under the category of "document", or would
the compiled binary now fall under the terms of the GPL (which my employer
is not interested in)?

Any help or pointers to the appropriate source (possibly at Redhat) to
contact is appreciated.

Thanks,
