Hey, I'm a graphic designer and just helping my sister out (fine artist) by putting together a website/logo and everything for her. She's really wanting to use Chris Hansen's 'Requiem', the font is listed as 'free for personal use', as she is using the brand to earn cash I presume that it is not allowed? I've looked all over for contact info to ask him but everything is out of date and I can't find anything current.
Help? =/ Thanks |

He's only got that copyrighted.
QUOTE(wikipedia) The Congress shall have Power [. . .] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries. So copyright holds no legal value over visual arts, but only over inventions, discoveries, documentation, and literature. But of course, I could be reading that too conservatively. Don't take it as 100% fact. |
