Quote - Now, if the work falls into a murky category, that's a different issue.  But if you don't want it used commercially, then just say so. 

Well, the OP complained that an item was labeled as commercial use ok, and then in the subsequent fine print it said (Copying from the original post):
“These items are not to be used in any commercial work without obtaining permission from the copyright holders. Intended for personal artwork props only.”

To me it obviously falls in the murky category, one that doesn't have a 'checkbox' for
'some types of commercial use limited'
or 'Commercial use allowed with credit to the author'
or 'Small time commercal use allowed, over $$$ amount, must obtain permission'
or 'you can use it an an online render, but not in a book illustration'
or 'you can render it out, but you can not makea statue of it or partially modify the mesh and call it your own'
or whatever other permutations of restricted use there are.
