I havent read every post, but I think a lot of what needs to be said has.  I'll just add that I think characterizations like 'snobbery' and 'disgusting' are grossly unfair to the artist in question.  The comment about celebs and autographs leads me to think that you may not have a realistic perception of how much money most 3d artists for the poser community make off of their work.  Perhaps the artist in question 'cant afford diddly' right now either.

Good on you though for asking first, and for taking the time to read the liscence.  I know I'll have a mess on my hands when it comes time for me to sort out what I can and cant use in my tangled mess of runtimes.  

I am glad you are respecting the artists wishes on the matter though I do wish you had shown the artist more respect in bringing this to the forums.  Since you seem to be planning to sell your work it would do you well to remember that however you treat folks on the forums is how you treat your customers, the poser market is a pretty small and we are pretty much all each others customers.
