If they were textures you could use to make a t-shirt, chances are the "merchant resource" was just a repacking of someone elses work anyway.  Nearly all of the non human skin merchant resources available on renderosity are just zipped up filterforge textures that are available for free to all filterforge users.

The rendo vendor has taken another persons work, bundled it into a product for themselves, released it, and added usage restrictions...  it's really quite hillarious.

for example, looking at the new releases, this product: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/digital-patterns---plaids/101383/

is likely derived from this: http://filterforge.com/filters/8870.html

this product: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/lts-i-dream-of-knit-autumn/101315/

is likely just the argyle option of this:http://filterforge.com/filters/6014.html

Frankly, nearly every sweater texture pack sold by multiple vendors on this site, each claiming ownership of the textures, is just repackings of Malkov's freely shared knit filter.

It takes a special kind of person to package up someone elses freebies and release them as commercial product, and a very special market place to condone and encourage such behavior.
