I'd therefore assumed that 'status' wasn't really helpful and probably not in any way 'legally binding'?
WHICH FONTS ARE COPYRIGHT FREE ZIP
I'd noticed that BUT I've seen cases of fonts marked 'Free' which then went on to state "not for commercial use" or "not for redistribution" and, in one case (which I cannot now find) which included in the zip a txt file which said that "any use of this font is subject to licences available at our site"!! Thus, when The Kat encounters a post that seeks the edges of 'free' them claws show.Īnd do read the Convention of Berne papers. Then taking the position Ha, it is free! Let's make some money with it! is imho unfair. Thousands of them were made in the late nineties, the early years of the make a font yourselves bonanza and today it is even worse with the overdose of grunges 'created' by 14 years old kids that have - understandably - little knowledge of the legal issues concerning publishing a font and/or the commercial aspects.

They are.Īnd, indeed, there are a lot of fonts here on Dafont or anywhere else where you can find fonts that lack license info.
WHICH FONTS ARE COPYRIGHT FREE FOR FREE
It is up to you to make the people you design for to make them aware of that when presenting your design - again, be it for free or a fee.įrom that moment on the responsibility is with the users of your designs. As soon as they go commercial things change and they will need to buy a license (often here make a donation). If they do not make a profit with the use of your design(s) with their font(s) it fits perfectly within 'free for personal use'. The ones that use your work are bound to the license. Whether you as designer do your work for free or a fee is not relevant in this case. It would be nice to have something that clear here - for personal/commercial/redistribution terms - if it exists, I can't see it.Īnd koeiekat - try being condescending again and I'll not be so polite. If you look at a site like, you'll see that they make it very clear that people uploading work are permitting free use of that work - this means it's a useful resource and you don't have to spend eons finding out licensing terms on websites written in languages you don't speak! I never assume anything is 'free beer' and I always credit people (check the comments I've left here for people in the past). I therefore like to understand clearly what the terms of use are and prefer to use resources which are offered 'free use'. I lot of work I do (for free) goes into websites or games which are personal (not for sale/non-commercial) - however, said websites and the sites hosting them/the games will sometimes run ads and I cannot always control what a client does with my work once they have it. Since koeiekat has decided to be condescending, rude and ignorant (keyboard warrior with a cat fixation - there's a novelty) I'll explain WHY I ask. I think some clarity on the issue would be nice - is all. Many font designers do include licences - but even then, I've read lengthy licences which talk about distribution and resale (permitted or forbidden) but do not discuss personal/commercial usage terms (again, you'd be wrong to use those fonts in many cases!!) I'm not suggesting anyone should be giving anything away - but uploading fonts with no indication of licence is a massive grey area and renders the effort moot (as you cannot assume anything - even personal use) Many fonts on dafont don't specify a licence (happier now?) at all and I can't find a default licence that their creators would have agreed-to when uploading their work.
The licence of which you speak is simply the terms under which the copyright to use the font is offered - you can try to separate the concepts if you like, but the problem remains the same in that we've no idea what the creator intended (and thus no idea how they'd respond to your using the font).
