Hi Mike, Art is ok. Posting items in Free Stuff using someone elses work/geometry/textures is not. Some model creators that offer their geometry for free request they receive acknowledgement on images created using their work. That should be honored to keep everybody happy. If you want to be sure about the Traveller, contact the owner directly so you "know" instead of "think" it's all right. I don't think you'll have a problem though. :) Here is the exception to gallery/forum art: if background images have been used from television or movie productions etc., using it is a no-no since those items are copyrighted. The only problems I've encountered is when individuals wrongly assume that purchased or downloaded free content on their computers is completely theirs and offer it in Free Stuff in some variation. That's a big no-no. Renderosity and other sites have very specific redistribution terms that can be summed up in one word: Don't. Let me know if you want any more clarification. Mark
