You are incorrect, PJF. Unless specifically stated, anything may be distributed REGARDLESS of copyright. Freeware is an example of this. Copyrights are maintained on Freeware, meaning that another person cannot modify the work and call it their own. However, the Freeware can be FREELY distributed -- as long as it is not for commercial purposes. If Kozaburo had specifically stated in his website "DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITH ANY OTHER MESH", by god I wouldn't have done it. "Personal Use" is pretty nebulous -- perhaps my idea of personal use is to apply it to a mesh I'm working on, then distribute that modified mesh. Again, this misunderstanding was quickly corrected in the new archive I'm attempting to upload. I'm saddened that you take an honest mistake so personally, PJF. Posting an email before an open forum accusation would, in most places, be considered common courtesy. It seems I've stumbled into yet another forum out looking for a flame-fight ... This seems to be a lot of trouble when what I basically trying to do was give back to a community whose resources I have relied on for a long time now. I probably shouldn't bother walking into this minefield any more. --scharmers
