Quote - No because my liscence gives the end user certain rights, one of wich is the right to do whatever they want with their renders.

Wich is pretty standard in poserdom.

Saying that is wrong, is like saying it's wrong if someone makes a poster of a N.V.I.T.W.S. and then turns around and sells that poster.

With that I've said my piece on this subject for now. (Got to go for now).

Sorry you had to run...

But I disagree. No one upload NVITWS, no one sells them-- because by their very nature they are a composition.

Some effort at creation took place. It is now their work, good, bad or indifferent.

To just render a prop as a billboard, takes no creation. To upload it to a freestuff area is to provide it as a resource for other people using 3D applications. A resource that is now in direct competition with the original prop-- be it commercial or free.

As for licensing... I've seen any number of them that forbid you to use their item in a manner that lets someon extract your product from the resulting render. It used to be just textures, but apparently needs to include meshes as well.
