in fact the mentions of commercial/non commercial use and the license texts (both for freebies and MP) are rather unclear... In fact you never know what was really intended in the text and you end up with buying products you can in fact do not much with... (and i say not much wich, i do not talk about ripping it off in your own product, but even more genuine uses...) You could expect things shared/given for free to be less restrictive than commercial and heavily checked products, but it seems that no matter the licence text, you can always misread it, it is unclear and you'd better do all yourself, never use anyone's freebie or product legally bought... I can bet that a mere 9/10th of gallery art or freebies here surely infrige on "some" copyright somewhere without even knowing, or unwillingly. I guess that when you make a picture, you should mail each and every maker of things you used in it, wait for replies and listen to people complaining their mailbox is exploding ! believe me with all the copyrights fuss and threads all this past week, i am at only an inch to simply put back my poser disk in its box to a dark corner, give up poser and not wasting my spare time anymore. Too many troubles and danger for very little joy if you ask me. If we want to take any random site, art or item, i am sure that, digging down enough, we can find any infringement, just a matter of time.
