Dizzo... I wasn't saying that ALL freestuff files are the same. A lot of people don't want you making any kind of money from freestuff without their permission. Simple as that. For myself, you can make movies, images, animations, toilet paper, airplanes, paper hats, brooches, whatever you want and sell that product. You can not distribute my FILES without my explicit permission. That's the only limitation I place on things, and even then some of my stuff is completely free for anything, including people who are daft enough to try to sell it. Otherwise, I have a simple request. Ask me. I've been on the net for the last decade at the same address, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. As for all the other freestuff providers. Restrictions vary. If there's no readme file then assume it is not for any use except personal. Otherwise ask. If there's no contact address, personal only, no information, personal only. It's pretty simple really. As for the rest of these observations. It might be worthwhile to remember that a lot of people giving freestuff are fairly new to Poser and don't know all the little hoops they're expected to jump through for the nice people here. Give them a little break to catch up huh? Also, don't forget, not everyone reads these forums either, so the nice messages asking for clarity, contact info etc are being missed by some people. All this before we even get into the different languages thing.
