Alright, here's my 2 cents. At least with respect to my take on the "non-commercial" clause is that, there are no restrictions on use on 3D renderings or animations using the free stuff as long as the artists that created the work has been mentioned or thanked. I think people who make the stuff just don't want to see artwork floating around with their work and have people say... "Yeap, this was entirely my own modeling, texturing, & rendering." If you look through galleries, most artist will just have a quick credit saying: hair by so & so, texture by so & so, etc. I think that's all that I care about when it comes to my offerings. The non-commercial part refers to when people are selling the actual models & textures that are used to CREATE renders, not the actual rendered images & artwork. So you could sell your rendered artwork as print or electronic media using free stuff, but not the actual textures or models as a package in the store. See the difference? I think there was a long discussion a long while back that talked about all this. No one can be so bold as to claim that they could hold copyright on all renderings made using their products (where would Daz be if that was the case?) What would people do if Daz said you could use our models as long as you don't distribute the images or videos made using our models? There you go.
