Nope, it's not just you.  I have quite a few freebies on my site and everyone one of them allows commercial rendered use.   The way I see it, someone's end work is going to contain a hell of a lot more than just my items and they have every right to publish, sell or license the renders as they see fit.  I feel the same way about freebies I download so I hope one bad attitude doesn't cast a bad light on the rest of us.  ;)
