again i hate to have to draw attention to the fact that in a community such as this the consumer should be the main focus, and not the vendor. i realise that Renderosity has a large stake in the marketplace here - and this IS all about money - but unless your customers are happy you wont have much of a community for very long. i think that a possible solution to this would be a standardised license for ALL products in the marketplace - one that both vendors and customers agree to before a transaction and is clearly posted from a link on the main page. it would avoid any confusion or legal hassles, and will put an end to customers buying products and then later finding out that they have these rediculous strings attached. as for a separate, standardized license for freestuff? i dont think thats a bad idea either. it would protect users and if someone wanted more liberal terms of use for their product they could just waive the license in their readme. -Gabriel
