I work in an in-house design agency; our outside agencies continue to send us "completed" files with fonts that they "purchased". I believe that my company needs to license these fonts from their initial source in order to use and create new files with these designs' fonts---is this true?

If I purchase the Open Type Font Folio, can I restrict our outside agencies to use only the fonts therein? Has anyone had this happen?

This seems to be a common issue, though I can't find anyone discussing it.
