Sorry, I have been away from the list.

As I recall it, if you upload a font file with a non-compliant license it will be rejected.

Incidentally my plea is to get the ccHost OFLB online, though it is true that there might be a better hosting platform than ccHost. In its favour, ccHost was designed to showcase user-generated content and so it does have mechanisms for helping newbie users to provide the right information, submit the right kinds of files, and search through for the things they want. We have added lots of font-specific richness and we could add more.
