I see nothing wrong with asking money for use of a product that someone has made, and I too don't think 25 dollars is unreasonable at all.  

But, I've said this before and been attacked, but here I go anyway.

I don't like the term free stuff being used for products that aren't for commercial render.  I would prefer the word demo product or free (but not for commercial render) or something. 

My guess would be that the OP thought it was free when he first spotted it, then read the fine print and that is what started all this.

In fact I would love to see a separate free stuff department where the free stuff is able to be used for commercial renders.   This would be particularly nice for new poser users because i feel there is a real risk for them of dumping a ton of free stuff into their runtimes without realizing that if in 10yrs time they want to sell their render then they can't, and it will take them forever to pull all the bits out of their runtime again if it is all mixed in, once they understand what the word free stuff means to some people.

And if someone wants to make free stuff but not for commercial renders, it would be great if there was a separate department for that stuff.  If I saw something in that section that I really needed for a render, I too would enquire about the cost, and if I could afford it I would buy it.
