Hi,

John Cowan from the FIGlet development team informed us that:

"Bitmap fonts are in the public domain in the U.S., because they are
considered insufficiently creative to copyright.  Specifically, the actual
*appearance* of a font cannot be copyrighted, and bitmaps are considered
just a trivial transformation of the appearance.  Scalable fonts are
computer programs, though, and are copyrightable."
