With regard to "commerical use", I've stopped downloading any freebies that are restricted to non-commercial, specifically because I might misplace or loose the documentation. Some of my work is "personal" but some of it is commercial, and I agree that segregating the runtimes is a big PITA.
So I just don't use ANYTHING that's restricted to non-commercial use.
If one is an actual hobbyist, then everything they do is "personal/private" and there's no concern.
And if someone says, "Hey, I'd like to buy a poster of that!" and it does contain "restricted" material, you have to tell them no. I have. And yes I had to explain why. But I didn't sell it.
Now, may just be me, but I never ever under any stretch of the imagination considered the term "Commerical use" to mean I could sell the thing (shader, model, whatever)-and certainly not with my label on it to claim it was mine. I don't know where that idea keeps coming from, but it isn't correct. -R
