Actually if I'm going to use another person's work in a commercial project that they would be able to access I would send them an email with a heads-up on it. I know that I would like to know if something I created was being used in something cool. If I use a model or texture that I get from the freebie site they are listed in the credits. They may not be listed as "this is the person who created such and such model or texture", but they would have the name listed under the appropriate section. That is only right, and you never know...someone might just see it and request their services as a modeler or texturer. (I hope that's a word). 8^) I have asked permission on some things I really liked and have always gotten an affirmative answer, but sometimes I too am under a deadline and it's just easier to use something I already have permission to use. Once again thanks to all of you wonderful folks who have the time and talent to create for the rest of us, either for free or for sale as you ARE appreciated more than you know. Marque
