Free? Most modelers, artisits etc. place restrictions on their free items. Do Not use for commercial use or, do not repackage or redistribute this file, copyright on the texture, or a simple requirement if the item is used in an image to give credit to the artist.
I hear people here ranting on about freestuff having to be fully non restrictive. Nice concept but this is not how the real world works. Artists want to maintain their rights to their creations. And rightly so. If you want to restrict all downloads to Freestuff as totaly free items with no restrictions what so ever you might as well say goodbye to 99% of the downloads.
By restricting Posercity and others from contributing "free" items to this site you are stepping on the rights of an artist to control their creations and cheating your "renderosity" members out of access to free items that they may otherwise be unaware of. Most of us out here in Cyberland just want to be able to access files not squabbles and nit picking over Dictionary definitions.
I see people on this site using items i supplied to freestuff at 3d commune a while back. Maybe we should restrict them from uploading those images to Renderosity scince they are created with items from a competitors site, Nah, that would be Childish just like this whole complaint.
