I never looked at the homepage of the OP. It's just that I have the same problem.
And, to state it again - as long as you mark everything "non commercial", everything is fine. I just get annoyed by wrongly marked non-commercial stuff. Which has nothing to do with your different interpretation of the commercial flag, since (if I got you right) you will not set anyway.
And just showing Google links to articles where "selling free stuff" shows up is dubious too, IMHO. I know a guy who collects advertisment buttons and -pins, which are usually free stuff in the first place, traded by collectors afterwards. I would assume most links there are about physical free stuff, which can be sold without moral problems IMHO. As I said earlier, in my experience people who sell other people's Poser freebies will ignore copyrights anyway.

Yes, there are people who sell stuff illegally. But I seriously doubt you can prevent or further that with the "commercial use" flag here. If you want to prevent that, you cannot publish your models. That people do not honor copyright is sad, but has nothing to do with wrongly flagged freestuff.
