Frankly, that sort of makes sense.  They don't want to sabotage your use
of the fonts, but at least the minimal use case does not lead to rented
fonts lying around permanently on your system (presumably they'll clean
up after the license runs out).

So basically it's your responsibility to heed the licensing conditions.
