the readmes clearly state that you can't even archive it to a CD/DVD without his divine blessing.
stuff that - sorry but, it's my computer I choose what to back up or not.
When I pay $200 for an application like office - I back that up.  

*, BUT doesn't even allow commercial renders with ANY of it without paying a fee for the "free" item to be used

*I alway love this line - as 90% of us are NOT commercial artists, and don't have our work in every magzine or movie poster. so is it time to stop pretending we're all professionals and start to embrace the idea of being a hobbyist. Celebrate being the little guy, and give being an amateur a hug! :)

Though If someone is going to make some money off the work of a freebie creator - then ethically speaking should they share that ? 

My take is if you've made some money using my freebies then fair play to you - it's your cash. 
A credit if possible would be nice, but if not thats no big deal. The only restriction I apply is to fan arts stuff - because thats not my idea.       

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
