I definitely agree that we shouldn't do anything to discourage people from giving thing away but I keep thinking that there needs to be way to make intentions clear without playing email tag for every item. The main problem seems to be the ambiguity, the non-commercial but ask me and I might let you cases. Instead of that, there should just be three choices, unrestricted, non-commercial only, and a commercial use fee clearly systed. The logistics of payment could be a problem, especially for those living overseas. Since no one's going to make a fortune off this to begin with, then perhaps all the fees could be paid to Renderosity which would in turn donate the money to charity, minus any extra adminstrative costs. R'osity could even email the creator saying X paid to use your item Y. Hopefully, people could even agree on a common ammount. OK, it's a bum idea but Hey, I'm only a muggle :-)
