Same here! And it's really irritating with some of the Rendo freebies that say "comercial use" here, then when you get to the download page (eg. ShareCG) they have some kind of restriction.

I'd rather not use freebies, but sometimes there's only a freebie version of something available, or it's some kind of must-have item.

Don't get me wrong.... I completely appreciate the time and effort people put into their freebies, but unless they have a full commercial use licence they're no good to me. I'd rather pay for an item - even if it's just a token amount - and know it's properly licensed and usable. There's always the nagging possibilty with freebies that the creator may decide in the future they don't want them used commercially and that could cause problems.
