Well, it depends on your POV I suppose. I may be wrong but I assume that the vast majority of people, especially new users aren't doing commercial work, so we're adding another layer of stuff for the new folks and casual users who are more likely to be confused by it in order to help the smaller number who - by definition, doing commercial work, should be aware to check the terms before downloading. I simply think that providing notice is sufficient without requiring splitting up the downloads.

As you say the majority probably aren't interested in redistribution. Should we have a separate section of redistributable items for the people who are interested? Taking it to the logical conclusion, the only things that should be called "free" are those that allow you to do anything with them, and that's never been the case. I see your point but I think the distinction probably isn't going to catch on and AFAIK, I've never seen a site with such a distinction.

I also take your point about discovering years later you can't do commercial with an item. How many typical non-commercial users are going to not download something they like because the "might" someday want to use it commercially though? In reality, I really don't want to have to go through two freestuff sections (or free and faux-free) every time to save people who are interested the trouble of reading the terms (which I agree should be in Details) - maybe that's selfish on my part.

N.B. Though I diasgree with the idea, you are still one of the nicest people here :-)
