Logan, In an ideal world every readme would be written is crystalline clear plain English :-). However you have to understand there are a couple of problems that crop up... 1) English may be the lingua franca of a large portion of the internet but for a lot of people it's, at best, a second language. 2) Not only the words themselves but the concepts behind them require understanding. There was one freebie producer who put a "non-commercial" restriction on his stuff. All he wanted to do was stop someone from selling his models but instead had prevented people from using them in renders they wanted to sell. Fortunately his English was somewhat better than my Japanese & we managed to fix it. As to a "boilerplate" readme. It's been discussed before. The problem it's not just a matter of share/don't share, there are as many shades of grey as there are freebie makers. Just some of the possible headers of the "free share" category are daunting... free share free share use commercially free share use commercially but ask me first free share don't use commercially free share but ask me first free share but include this readme
