Because he has a point? WTF is this?

Whether or not it was intentional, it just comes across as underhanded, like some marketer somewhere is trying to pass off a free-as-in-speech and free-as-in-beer renderer as really being  just Reality itself, a commerical product.

As repeatedly pointed out in that thread, the term "render engine" refers to the application that generates an image from a scene description. There is an established term for what things like LuxBlend and Reality (and shall I mention Pose2Lux?) do, it's called an "exporter" or "plugin". In fact, if you go to Reality's product page here on Rendo, that's pretty much what you find. Reality is pretty clearly described as a DAZ plugin to generate Lux scene files. So why the sudden shift into presenting it as its own "render engine"?
