I believe the point is, there has recently been a rash of uploads of the same freebie(s) with only slight variations between the uploads. If it were something being sold in the Marketplace, the merchant would have bundled it into a single package (ie. a texture package for a clothing item). When I'm browsing the Marketplace, I see one product comprising all the variations the merchant is offering. I don't have to view (and potentially purchase) a dozen separate product entries that are essentially the same thing.

Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful for the content freebie-makers provide. It's the method of delivery I take issue with. When I go into the Free Stuff section, I'd rather not see an entire screen-full of variations of one provider's product. They are drowning out the other providers - and that isn't right either.
