I've only had one item up in the free stuff a year or so ago (a stone railing), and I gave free use for both commercial and non-commercial. I don't care what people do with it just as long as they don't distribute the original object and call it theirs. Anything they use it in (i.e., rendered art) is theirs to do with as they please. I've had a few textures in the past on my own website and the same thing goes. I create these things for the love of it. It's therapeutic after a long day at work, I get my own enjoyment out of it, and if others can use it, then great! I tend to keep mostly the downloads I collect that have commercial use permission already given (I do keep Kozaburo's hair even though it's not for commercial use). I read the readme right away. I keep a personal database of everything I've acquired, both purchases and freebies, with a column for whether commerical use is granted. I want folks to use my things (what little there has been) for whatever they need it for. I do it out of the love of it. As I said, I create because it's restful for me, I get my repayment that way. If someone can use it for a book cover or a poster or an ad or whatever they need it for, I'm flattered they thought it was good enough to use for that. I'd enjoy seeing the work, just to see how it's been used. I think the only thing I would object to is if something I've created is used in something tasteless or pronographic. That I don't like. But if someone used my stone railing in a product cover or something, hey, that means it must be pretty good! I know a lot of people want more, but this is just me. Everyone has the right to decide how they want their own work used by others, but I just do it this way because I don't want to bother with red tape. I may consider putting a few things up in the future, and when or if I do, they'll be for free use, both commercial and non-commercial. Melanie
