I wholeheartedly agreed with Jim, MissTara, Talmidben, Poppi, etc. Any item, morph or whatever that I create can be used as the artist sees fit. If something truly is a gift, then what difference does it make if someone makes money off of it or not? (I'd brave to say that it's unlikely for most) "Free" defined as "free with strings" is not free, its more like pro-quid-pro (sp). And free defined as "free to download" that's more akin to borrowing (and I'm saying akin to). Wonderful, that's like "free to try". Pfeh! And I'm not a freeloader by any means, I have purchased many things here, DAZ, Runtime DNA and even 3-D Arena. I definately appreciate every free and purchased item that I have and use. I have emailed many times and left comments when I could to many I have gotten free items from. Feedback is extremely important to me and I extend that to others. If "free" doesn't equate to "freely usable, this is a gift" then what's the point of even sharing folks? Is the only appreciation a monetary compensation? That sounds just as greedy... You get some, where's mine?
