First: Always best to check with the item creator. They can tell you what they mean, specifically. Generally speaking, though, "For personal use only" means that you can use it in any renders that you do for your own purposes but which you do NOT sell or profit from in any way. Just as an example, I do character illustrations for people, and I do charcter-based web design now and then. When I do that, I am always very careful NOT to use any downloaded freebies that may have restrictions on how the render can be used. If I put something that's "for personal use only" into an image I sell to a client, I'm violating the terms of use. Make sense? You can put images you make using those items in the gallery here or elsewhere, generally speaking. Usually when people say "for personal use only" they just mean "don't make money with it". Again, it's best to check with the item creator, though, to be sure. bonni
