Two points - 

1. The 1.3 Workbench and Extras distributed at the devcon were version
   Gamma 7, not a release version.  It is for Gamma testing by registered
   developers.

2. When Workbench 1.3 is released, distribution will require a new
   1.3 Workbench license, which will include a separate Adobe license.
   No one can legally distribute the Adobe fonts without an Adobe font license.
