where you want the files to go the archive files should replace the ones actually in the directory tex-archive/nonfree/fonts/initials/
what licensing conditions you apply to your software the .pfb and .afm files are freely usable for personal (non commercial) use; the other files are public domain.
a brief summary of what your upload is intended to do. this is an update of the previous collection of fonts for decorative initials (a.k.a. dropped capitals) and of the related service files that allow their use with LaTeX. now 23 different fonts are included. From the distribution README file:
This archive contains PostScript binary files for a few decorative initials (also called dropped initials) fonts, and the service files needed in order to use these fonts with [La]TeX.
The fonts are freely usable for non-commercial use, and are a (small) subset of the ones designed and crafted by:
Dieter Steffmann <dieter@steffmann.de> Marburger Straße 93a, D-57223 Kreuztal (Germany)and available under his Web page
http://www.steffmann.de/english/index.htm(follow the link to Fonts). That URL states:
You may download [the fonts] for free and use them for personal purposes.
Thanks for the update, I installed it in
nonfree/fonts/initials
