Poppi, please read the read-me files. You will notice that on the QC poses, the terms of use are thus: "Use it. Lots. Free stuff, commercial stuff, I don't care. My hope is that this file will speed up the creation of Poser clothes so that more clothes can be made. All I ask is that you don't sell this file. Feel free to give it to any of your friends; just keep this readme with it. If you want to include it on a CD collection for redistribution, please ask my permission." They can be used for commericial items. That's why they're still posted on the freestuff here and the rest of my stuff is not. If you (general you) want to split hairs, then fine. My stuff isn't free. The price you pay is having to send me an e-mail if you want to make something for sale with my object and obey my response. Frankly, I think that's a pretty cheap price to pay. If you don't like it, go buy something else. You don't get to steal my work. And if I get put out of "business" in six months, fine. I can use the bandwidth for other stuff. As for insults, for the past six months I've put up with being called a "jerk", "b!tch", "@$$hole", and some things I just can't post here, because I ask to be e-mailed for permission if someone wants to use my stuff to make money with. Not even because I don't allow it, because 99.9999% of the time I'd say yes, but because I want to be asked. Fine, I'm sick of it. If that's the "thanks" I'm going to get for trying to do a favor, fine, I'll take my "business" to the 3DCommune, where I don't get this bullsh!t. And if I start getting it there, I'll move again. What was it Anton said in a completely unrelated string? Buying a license to use my products does not also give you a license to insult me? Oh, and as a final note, I looked up "commericial" in the dictionary. "Occupied with or engaged in commerce or work intended for commerce". i.e. something that is not made for profit, but later becomes profitable, is not technically commericial. Darned if I know how a lawyer view this, that just how a linguist views it, and how I view it for my own stuff (albiet explicity stating so is currently a glaring omission in my read-me. I guess I'll go change that on my webpage at least.)
