Well, I certainly don't plan to sell anything commercially, so don't get my forthcoming comment wrong. I certainly appreciate people who give stuff away for free. And, I've read a lot of threads on this and related topics. So, I have a few remarks/questions: (1) I just can't figure out why someone would give something away and specifically tell people they can't make money with it. If I were able to create anything and didn't want to sell it or try to make money from it, it wouldn't bother me if someone else used it in a render and DID make money from it. Since people here like analogies about yards, try this one: Your neighbor buys a new lawnmower and says he will give you his old one. But before he does so, he tells you that you are strictly prohibited from using that mower to make money by mowing anyone else's lawn. That you may only use it on YOUR lawn. Now, why would that neighbor give a shit? If he did, then he should keep it and go make extra money with it himself. (2) People have place commercial restricitons on renders that have used thier light sets or poses. Now, honestly, how can anyone look at a rendor and know for a fact that HER lights/poses were used (unless some sort of "extreme" pose)? I realize it is a different story for, say, a piece of furniture or auto, etc. (3) Another thread sometime back delved into the possibilites of (a) discovering that an item of yours was used in a commercial render when it had been prohibited (the world is a BIG place!) and (b) going to court and being successful in prosecuting the violator and recieving money. I sued a person (a doctor) whose check bounced in payment for a billing system I wrote for her. I lived next to her county, so it was easy to file. She never showed, so I received a default judgement. Well, I had fun getting my money!!! (NOT) So, I certainly don't want to discourage people from giving away stuff they have worked hard on...but given what I have just mentioned above, I just don't understand why they would restrict it. I certainly wouldn't restrict anything I gave away. After all, if I gave away all my oil painting stuff, why should I get upset if it turned out I had given them to Kinkaid? And as long as I mentioned it, and since I don't seem to understand, would someone please explain to my the reason(s) they have for restricting it?
