The post isn't attacking people for putting stuff in the Marketplace, it's about people who ask a bunch of questions, take everything they can, then use it to immediately make a buck off of those people who'd spent so much time helping them. Most of the vendors spend time here giving their expertise for free, so there's no shame in them having retail models. It's the people who take everything they can: models, textures, advise, etc. and try to sell stuff without contributing anything to the site at all that this is addressed to. As for a lot of Freestuff items being connected to retail items, I'm just as guilty as anyone for that. There's some retail items that I like so much, I'm inspired to make stuff for them. I have no relationship with the vendors, except as a customer, but if I find work something up for a product, I see no reason not to share it once I'm done. Think of it this way: some vendor items have so many free items connected to them, that you're effectivly getting the product at an incredibly low price due to the expanded versatility.
