New Feature: Creative Commons Licensing
Sharing is one of the principle motivations behind FontStruct, so we wanted end user license agreements that are as open and flexible as possible. Fortunately, the Creative Commons organization has already done this for us. Starting today, you can now apply a Creative Commons license to each of your FontStructions. See the option on the FontStruction page. Click the “About this License” link below the License menu to read more about each license and what it means for your creation.

I have a (probably stupid) question, I could not find an accurate answer in the “Terms of Use”: is it allowed to make a font created with fontstruct available for download on my website? So people don’t need to sign up if they just want to try it out, don’t want to clone it etc. I would obviously also link to the page on the fontstruct site, but having it optional wouldn’t be too bad.
Would be great to hear from you.

Hi Christophe. You are allowed to do whatever you wish with your own FontStructions. You don’t even need to make it publicly available on the FontStruct site. You are only required to apply some kind of Creative Commons license when you do share it here. Anything you do with your work outside this site is up to you.

Hey Stephen, thanks for your answer – that’s great!
Sharing the font on the FontStruction site makes much sense for me though, as I especially like the idea of cloning. I’m hoping this will happen sometime :-)
