If and only if the file are served raw i.e. directly reusable in a different context. TypeKit uses a number of techniques to obfuscate the font through the use of data URIs and segmenting among others.[1]

So the font is effectively well obfuscated for the majority of users. If raw TTFs were acceptable to the foundries who work with TypeKit, why go through all this trouble ?
