Conniekat,
Actually, I do know quite a bit about that. :)
I'm the owner of a racing web site where I have to do everything from configuring and maintaining my servers to policing my forums. While not quite in the same league with Daz or Rendo in total traffic, my forum traffic levels are competitive with either (about a half-million forum page views and a couple thousand posts daily).

Maybe I'm thinking that freestuff providers should be held to a higher standard than regular users, I don't know. It just doesn't seem that complicated to me to make sure the permissions match between the description and the readme. Hell, I never read the readme's and don't even download anything that doesn't allow for commercial use.
If someone is going to be obsessive about their intellectual property, they should at least be responsible for clarity in usage permissions.

But, there you go--opinions. :)
