To expand a bit on Michael Kazlow's comments.

There is (was?) a bug in Fontographer, which for many years was the 
font creation program of choice, that defaulted the embedding 
preferences to "no embedding". The result is that there are thousands 
of otherwise free fonts out there that cannot be embedded into 
documents. Personally, I see nothing ethically, morally, or legally 
wrong in changing the embedding flag in such fonts.

Commercial fonts are another matter. Most professional foundries allow 
their fonts to be embedded. Some have produced fonts that 
inadvertently (because of the Fontographer bug or incompetence) 
prevented embedding, and there's at least one paranoid current foundry 
that intentionally sets its fonts to "no embedding". AFAIK, with PDF's 
rapidly becoming the lingua franca of document exchange, that makes 
their fonts completely useless.

More details on the four different embedding levels (none, readable, 
editable, and installable) as well as means of changing them, can be 
found with appropriate google searches. You'll find a free Microsoft 
utility that can change embedding levels, but only to make it MORE 
restrictive.
