I am interested in embedding the Libertine font within an application at

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.
Copying Fedora Legal list which is the right place for legal questions.
