Sell things under Public Domain? And what about that "100% free" license?

[peq42_]

So, i wish to use 2 things that have a license wich... i don't know exactly how work...

First, those 2 fonts:
https://www.dafont.com/en/cold-night-for-alligators.font
https://www.dafont.com/en/000webfont.font
Both say "100% free". But does it mean that i can sell a game using them?

The second one is that sound effect:

It's under "Public domain". Can i sell a game that has it?


Can someone help me find the answers?

It depends on the exact licence given for each, and you have to make sure that it is the correct licence from the artist who made those things.

For example "public domain" means that no one holds rights to it. If that is all there is to the licence then yes, you could sell games with it. However, there are some licences that require you to hold to the same conditions, which means giving away anything that uses them.
But that is not automatic, it depends on the exact licence given.

Basically, for questions like that you would be better off consulting a lawyer. All we can do is give our opinions on what we think is right and wrong, but since you can get in legal trouble for misusing a license, you honestly should shell out the $$$ to sit down with a lawyer and ask those questions if you want to be 100% certain.

If you want to be sure about the fonts, ask the authors, just like the FAQ of the site advises. As for public domain, as it has been said, no one holds any rights to it. So you're allowed to do as you please with it.
