As an amateur, not-making-a-dime web site maker you probably don't need the full 22-font version of Helvetica with support for Greek and Cyrillic. The Standard OpenType version is $29 a font.
I'm very sorry the site's not live right now so you can see that very few fonts made with FontStruct can be replacements for commercial fonts. It's a tool for creating modular typefaces -- a very specific genre of type design.
The editor doesn't need to be online, but half the point of FontStruct is the sharing, cloning, and collaboration tools that make the most sense on the web.
Hi. I'm part of the FontShop team responsible for FontStruct. We're down right now (for obvious reasons -- ouch!) or I'd link you directly to the FAQ page on licensing, but I'll try to clarify it here.
There is no requirement to license your work. New FontStructions are private by default and you can download it for yourself to your heart's content. Only when you choose to make it public do you need to select a CC license.
