Quote - What do you mean by "some kind of restriction?" I allow commercial renders on all my freebies, but I don't allow anyone to use textures or the mesh without my permission if they want to use it in a commercial PRODUCT. LOL (I always thought that was pretty fair). Never minded ppl using anything of mine in an image they were plannin to sell tho ;).

It's something I've had a few times with freebies. It'll say commercial use here, but then on its home page it may say something different - either completely different, like non-commercial use only, or something like a credit is required for use - which is no good for commercial renders. Of course it's fine if someone wants to restrict the use, but then it shouldn't be marked as commercial use.

I really wish Rendo would split the freebies here into commercial and non-commercial use sections. While I understand that some people don't want the items they've created as a free gift used for commercial renders, it's really irritating when you've found something you need in the freebie section, just to discover you can't use it.
