The super fun thing about fonts that isn't quite intuitive to most, is that once you rasterize them you're freed from all shackles, meaning you can use a $12 font license and make an iconic piece of art, print it out and sell 50,000,000 copies of it and make a billion dollars, and you're completely in the clear. Or even produce a JPEG and sell that the same way.
But if you make it into a webfont and render that same font in a browser as text, lawsuit city.
