Of course each freebie provider sets the rules how to use his stuff. Who made it sets the rules.

My freestuff (it's not much, admitted) is free for commercial renders as well. Chances are slim that anyone would use it commercially, and if they do and get filthy rich with it, great.

I never download or keep any free stuff which isn't usable for commercial renders - not that I do them very often. Actually twice in my whole "carreer", on website logo, one for a comercial leafleat. I did not make real money with them, it was more to help out. As I did the first one, I had a hard time figuring out what I could use for that, since I never cared earlier, I never planned to do comercial artwork. When I got Poser 6 shortly afterwards, I threw away my former runtime and installed everything again, in new Runtimes. All is commercialy usable. Just in case.

Poser is not the right application for getting rich with it. I seriously doubt that even half of the merchants here make enough money to justify the time they spend on making the stuff. If I wanted money for it, I would sell it. I never liked the thought of limiting presents, and I see my free stuff as a present to the people who want to use it. But that's just me.
