And I received the following answer:

"Thank you for your email.  I might release them as OFL in the future, 
but for now I would like to keep them free only for non-commercial use. 
  So I guess they should be taken down then.

But if my account still remains on the site, I would like to possibly 
release some of my other fonts as OFL in the near future."
