???? I can understand a restriction like this on free stuff, but as has been stated here, a paying customer should not be forced to advertise for a product. One of the reasons people buy things is to be free of having to give credit in perpetuity. These texture packages are already at the high end of the price spectrum (and they do look like they are worth it), so it is not like customers are getting a price break in exchange for free advertising. And why is the stipulation ONLY for images posted on Renderosity? What if someone posts a gallery image on Renderotica or 3D Commune? Does credit have to be given then? I can sort of understand the user name/purchaser restriction, but then again, many members post under several user names and they buy the license to the product as a person, not as a user name. (And again, is this only enforced on Renderosity?) And what if they are forced to change their user name for some reason? It happens quite often around here. Is their license invalid then?
