Hi, thank you. Actually, I saw this, and I checked Info Panel, and also other discussions in this forum. But these instructions or restrictions were not clear to me, so I asked this issue to Apple Support on phone call. I shared my screen with them to show my Adobe Express account, and said "Can I upload these OSX fonts here, is it okay in terms of copyright issues?".

And they told me "It is okay, since you purchase this Mac you can use fonts in Mac free for any purpose like creating and sharing social media posts, etc. They are for your use.".
