Alina,

One of the areas of law where there is least conformity between 
jurisdictions is in the area if intellectual property, which includes 
copyright. The answers to your post seem to be mostly from the US, and 
in my experience may be significantly not in conformity with the 
intellectual property laws of the EU. I would caution you to get 
competent legal advice in your own jurisdiction, or in the jurisdiction 
in which you propose to engage in commercial activity.

An example of the difference: in the US, a typeface cannot be 
copyrighted; in the EU it can. OTH, in the US, a digital representation 
of a typeface has been held to be a computer program, and thus eligible 
for copyright protection.
