 thanks for replying :)

Indeed i would love to ask the creators, but i rarely get back a reply from them; so my hope was to throw the bone in and hope that who create contents will take in consideration to add on their license the authorization to use the models for other applications other than renders, and do the same in the marketplace, adding a version with different license for other uses....i am a dreamer i know :)

mishamcm; the problem is that when something is not mentioned in the product license, you never know if is ok or not to use them (legally if you don't add explicitly that something cannot be done, it can be done; but is true also the opposite, where if you authorize the user to do something with that item, you automatically exclude all the other uses....)

As comparison, the google sketchup community is pretty active and release a lot of contents that can be used freely (sometimes just mentioning the author in the credits); so i wonder what is the difference between this community and that one (where in some cases, users from poser forums are also on other forums for other 3d software)
