hmm. Interesting! I wonder if anyone realised in light of all this that Blender.org website has two different scene files in their demos downloads page that contains detailed BMW models? One is for a Cycles render scene example, the other for realtime render scene example, both by the same guy. They even mention BMW in the description. I guess because the models are given away free, with free software they can use the name and likeness? So this should mean Turbosquid can still distribute BMW models if they are free too? Do they need permission if there is no profit being made from the stuff?
