"Frickin' ingrates**" If my post inspired your disgust, then I apologize. "gimme gimme gimme.. I'm sick to death of it." I'm not complaining against those who provide free stuff, I'm glad they do, and they are generous for it. However, in my opinion, it is somewhat selfish, or at least anti-Capitalist to not allow for commercial use, I recently deleted my free stuff, except for one - but I have no problem with people using what I provided for free to use in their commercial work. That's why I provided it for free. In fact, one of the joys I have when I provide something for free is that people CAN use it for commercial renders and works. If someone wishes to make money off of their creation, then I agree, they should put it in the Marketplace/or specify the price in a Readme text included in the download. "Don't criticize someone for simply trying to share something for free." What people wish to do with their creations, it is their right, and they are certainly generous for giving it away for free, and taking the time to do it. However, because I plan to sell my artwork, please don't criticize because I pass over the download, I can't keep up with all the stuff I would download, in deciding what is allowed for commercial use, and what isn't. I don't want to violate anyone's copyrights/wishes, so I don't download it. Sometimes, if it is something I just HAVE to have, then I do download it, but put it in a NO COMMERCE folder, or just remember to not use it for commercial works.
