Suppose you make an addon with content that has to be licensed for personal use, such as a font or music or an image

Is this allowed to be posted on the Forums?

as long as you aren't charging people for it, it counts as personal use. you can copy, display, view and download it as much as you want

add-ons are non-commercial use so you should be fine

I mean you can make a license if you want but even without a license you still own the intellectual property rights.

Well, 99.9% of the time yes. But there are some servers out there that use "donations" to keep the server running but then pad their pockets with the remainder.

That being said, they don't make a ton that way so even in the extraordinarily unlikely scenario that that happens, you aren't missing much.
