There is some painting with a pretty wide brush here. Not everyone who sells Merchant resources is against the products being used to create other products. Nor is every resource out there a copy of someone elses work.

The knit example given is actually just as good at showing why it is just as likely not to be a copy of someone elses work. I've no clue how easy or hard it is to make changes to the texture in filterforge but you can get the exact same sort of textures with genetica and making changes in it is dead easy.

As far as the EULA goes that needs to be compared to the licence which says that there may be addional permisions or limitations as far as merchant resource use goes and that those are listed in the read me. If the limitations in the read me of a merchant resource indicate that it may not be used by merchants in products for resale then you should contact customer service and tell them you want a refund because the product was falsy listed as a merchant resource but the readme says it may not be used as a merchant resource.

-I suspect this is just full of spelling errors but the page is preventing my spell check from working and the use of copy/paste so I can't take the text out and check it. Sorry about that.-
