Can i know how to check the license of the Baskerville True Type font that is available on my laptop running Mac OS.
Is the Baskerville.ttc font free to use commercially ?

If not can i still use the font for creating the logo for a website?

I saw a similar query for chancery font on stackexchange, but i just wanted to be sure on this..

Can I commercially use a logo that was made using URW Chancery L?

Any font that comes bundled with your operating system is provided under the EULA that comes with the OS. In all cases currently (2014), a font that is bundled with the OS is licensed for use in any project, commercial or otherwise. That includes logos.

Depends on the licence and the applicable law in the territory concerned, neither of which you have stated. In the UK, using a font does not infringe its copyright.

Every font should have a licence that tells you exactly what you can do or cannot do using this font. Some fonts require that you mention the author, some require that you buy a licence if it's going to be used for commercial work. If you are uncertain, you'd better contact the author of the font.
