Fontsquirrel and fonts101.com both look like most "free fonts" sites... questionable content ripped-off from various sources. At the very least these two sites both list some Larabie Fonts... which are NOT allowed to be embedded using @font-face (as I've already stated). Go ahead and search their databases but go to the source when it comes to license issues. There are hundreds of font sites out there and most of their content is questionable since there are only a few major font foundries. There are, of course, many fonts that exist not made by a foundry... and these questionable sites are good repositories of these fonts made by the "guy-next-door" but again, I stress, go to the source and research the license carefully. Many of these fonts are distributed legally, sure but...
Commercial use is not the same as embedding. Commercial use itself has several meanings... it usually means you can make printouts using the font and distribute it (using it as a trademark or directly profiting from it are different matters)... as a side-note, it's interesting to note that most fonts included with Microsoft Windows or Office are in a gray area. They are not explicitly permitted for commercial use and indeed are only licensed for one-computer use... indeed, most are property of Monotype, a corporation that would love to sue you if you tried to use their fonts in an unauthorized way...
I didn't look at Kernest... the memory it started to take up nearly crashed my poor work notebook. What in the heck do they need to load hundreds of fonts on their top page for..?!?
