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 I've looked all over for contact info to ask him but everything is out of date and I can't find anything current.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

Thanks again guys, still sort of on the fence if I should use it or not. I've still been looking around and I found on 1001fonts that it's listed as Freeware opposed to dafont's Free for Personal Use.

Here's what 1001fonts had to say about Freeware:
Freeware License
Freeware fonts can be downloaded and used free of charge for both non-commercial and commercial use. Although these fonts are available for free, the author retains the copyright, meaning that restrictions usually apply to alteration, reproduction, publication and distribution of the font. Practically no author will allow you to sell his/her font for profit or to include it in another product or CD-ROM compilation without permission and in most cases you will not be allowed to use parts of the font to create your own font. Detailed copyright information is usually included in the corresponding font zip-file as readme.txt, copyright.txt or an equivalent text-file.

A lot of garble in there but it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem to use, right? No info in the attached readme file except for an old geocities site which obviously isn't running anymore.
