Questor, I've been a member of the Poser communities for over two years. When I first started downloading Free Stuff (over a year before there was ANY store), most of it had restrictions prohibiting commercial use. In fact, when I was getting involved in a project that would be commercial, I made it a point of not using anything from Free Stuff, just to be safe. I actually think the number of items with those restrictions has gone down over the years. People (myself included) found it WAY to hard to enforce. I do have a commercial use restriction on one of my free things because it is based on a licensed character. The rest is free of restrictions on artwork made with it. The whole idea behind Free Stuff to begin with was for a way for casual Poser users to share their hobby with other casual users, not to fill a professional artist's library. Like I said, I don't put restrictions on most of my stuff, but neither am I going to begrudge those that do.
