I think you are entitled to your feelings whatever they may be. It's good that you asked first though. So many don't. For me, I would't use something in the beginning if I knew it could not be used commercially no matter how cute or great it is. But that's me. I also won't buy a vendor's products if the readme tells me I can't use it commercially. Most vendor's don't care if you turn their applications into pngs to sell. However, there are a handful who forbid anyone to make pngs out of their props to sell or give away. I think it's silly because the people who buy my pngs don't use a 3D program, don't want to, and never will. They simply want the png to make whatever with it. They will never buy that vendor's application anyway. I read and understand the terms and it's my choice if I buy (or download the freebie) or not. That's why it is so important for me to read what the conditions are before I buy or use something. I purchased something once without reading the info and found out after the fact, I couldn't use it to sell or give away as a png or psd file. Now it is sitting in my computer and I doubt I will ever use it. I learned the expensive way.
