There is one other important thing to think about, and i dont know if this has been up yet. What if someone, a mag, webdesigner etc wants to buy one of your images? I assume that most freebies cant be used for commercial purposes. Of what i have experienced myself, most magazines, when signing a contract, wants to have it clear, that everything is yours and can be used. If you use a prop that someone else has created, they almost always want them to sign a contract as well. If its one or two objects/textures/whatever, i dont think its a big problem, but if it would require 26 different signatures, im pretty sure they would pass. As i said before, i have nothing against the use of freebies, but this is something to keep in mind. :)
