Perhaps people just need to be a bit more explicit in their read_me files. I don't have any models in Free Stuff, but on my web site my read_me expressly gives the artist the right to do anything they want with the art they produce, while trying to keep slugs from grabbing and bundling models to sell on some cheep CD-ROM or through their on-line store. Here is how it reads: "This model and its associated texture maps are Copyright 2001 by Jon M. Strother. The model and maps may not be redistributed commercially without express written permission from the author. Any final art work rendered with the model and/or its texture maps may be sold commercially by the producing artist without restriction. Your art is your own. The model and texture maps may be modified and redistributed freely for non-commercial use as long as this READ_ME file is contained in the distribution. I assume no liability for use of this model or its texture maps. For more information, or to report abuses of this policy, send mailto:jstro@swbell.net. Enjoy." I hope I've hit the happy medium. jon
