If it is already a free item, the concept may be feasible.  But user converted items will still be subject to copyright protection because of the proprietary ownership of the mesh and the included original texture.  Although, older, discontinued content might qualify, EULA, unless modified by original creators, will prevent free distribution of such items.

Thanks, that is quite useful info, thanks.

I had no plans of offering anything for free, but also none of making a profit: for instance, any profit would just go to the designing artist, upon agreement with them. I suppose everything would be predicated upon that: makers agree, business happens / makers uninterested, business doesn't happen. I'm mainly worried about existing proprietary and non-poaching agreements already in place.

I guess my main impetus is to free up all content for easy optional use with V4. That's entirely it.
