I stand corrected on the profit vs. non-profit remark; it's been a while since I was in there. What I was confusing it with is the "R" icon that means Renderosity exclusive, and the "C" icon that means proceeds donated to charity. The point, however, remains valid. Renderosity must be putting something on the Marketplace submission form that says something like "Indicate here if it's a Renderosity exclusive" or "indicate if proceeds go to charity." They MUST...how else will the database know to display the "R" or "C" icon with the item? So, the whole point is, if they can do THAT for commercial stuff, why can't they just add a field to the Free Stuff database and submission form that says, "indicate if this item is for non-commercial use only" or "indicate if this item is freely distributable" or whatever verbage you like, and create an icon for that, which would then show up next to each Free Stuff item the same way the "R" and the "C" do for each MarketPlace item. It ain't hard to do, and it makes the download pages--regardless of whether their Free Stuff or MarketPlace--more consistent overall. End of confusion; end of problem.
