Actually, googling the it a bit it seems:
1. last time this went to court the patent angle was rejected and the copyright
angle upholded
2. the entity that sued and was the patent holder was Adobe
3. the authorization Adobe gave to the TEX user group explicitely covers
copyright and talks about font modifications

So I don't really see Adobe suing for patents when they gave the green light to
modifications and redistribution themselves, and courts refused the patent
argument before.

But IANAL, so this is for fedora-legal to decide. And if the text of the current
TEX User Group grant is not good enough, presumably a better one can be
negociated with Adobe since the release of Utopia comes from them.
