I think the "PD" is for Public Domain. The base was a model in the Public Domain?
The original is such a simple sprite. Seems like someone could splat blue paint on a canvas & the owners could claim copyright infringement. But again, anyone wanting to create a yellow 3D sphere with a wedge cutout of a mouth would obviously be questioned about Pac-Man.
Edit: It doesn't sound like a derivative to me. Fan art, maybe. Inspired, definitely. But, I'm not a lawyer. :)
I don't know of any software that can convert PNG to TTF automatically. It would be much easier to do it the other way around, TTF to PNG. The only way I think it might be possible is to use a software specifically for creating fonts, like FontForge, & manually convert it. That might be a lot of work though. I've never created a font myself.
Yes, there is definitely risk of abuse. That's why I changed the request to a sort by revision option. Originally I was going to simply suggest moving updated submissions to the front of the list. But that would likely result in spamming submission updates.
And honestly, I wasn't thinking of a specific submission of mine. It just came to me today because I was updating a couple older submissions.
Thank you for your input MedicineStorm. I hope the other devs like the idea of sorting by revision date & see it implemented. :)

@claudeb: Would be nice if we could use SIL font license. I wonder if it's compatable, just no one has considered it yet?

Thank you very much yolkati! I am making some reworks for use in Stendhal:

Creating a kobold sprite using your bases:
Wow! Very professional!
I think I had seen the ones from the medieval set before. But I was referring to the ones you just posted. :)
Thank you bluecarrot16!!!
Jeez bluecarrot16, you must be working your fingers to the bone!
I got especially excited when I saw the rotated flower boxes, because I have used the originals in a submission. :)
Edit: Oooh! I'm excited about the hanging banners too. Got a couple of those that need replaced in Stendhal.
