I just heard from "Bice," who's listed under "Admin/Copyrights," at the Poser-corner Store (I also wrote to the store owner but haven't heard from her yet). Bice said: "Generell isnt it allowed to use products for resell without permission from the copyright holder. If the creator doesnt give you a permission you cannot use this package for commercial. Sorry."
Then she included the readme for this product. Here's the part pertaining to useage:
"The textures, please, as your property do not transmit and not as a download on your sides offer. The textures do not sell. Pictures with these textures have come into being may be freely used. I have nothing against it if pictures with my textures have come into being in as zb. Backgrounds, screen motives are used."
This readme has such poor English that I can barely decipher it.
I replied to Bice and asked her about the store's license agreement which gives the buyer the right to use the product for commercial renders, and I invited her here to comment on this discussion.
At any rate, it looks like the big answer is NO! I've decided not to return to that store.
