Yes, that's the one! I will come to your defense, ernyoka1 and say that you have been honest in telling people the source of the object, and you have made an effort to contact parties involved, and aren't trying to make any money off it. Cooler, I'm sure, is legally quite correct, but this isn't a previously "for sale" type of model. It is certainly a gray area in this case, I think. My theory about this model is that it was made most likely by the people who make, or made, the original 3DStudio software, and distributed freely like the old classic Steam Engine and some other older 3DS models that show up around the internet. That's why its on the 3DCafe freebie website area. But other people should take Cooler's advice and be careful to not interpret this particular case as applying to other models on the internet. It's a very case by case kind of thing, I think. I think this is an old 3DStudio promo model.
