"Your set is only 'part' of the web site as a whole.
Folks add content, their touches, additions.
They expand on your 'free' download."

A decent design can make or break a site. You should know that. :) Commercial sites are commercial from the get-go. Most people here are hobbyists. Some sell images they create, some work in the industry. Most of the time, someone will download a free item without anything clear in mind.

"I don't think you really have any concept of how much work goes into to creating some of the things that are offered for free. Particulary meshes. I can assure you often much, much longer than it takes to make a web set. Having done both I speak from experience."

I may not have much up in the way of freestuff but I do have some idea. I've played with mesh's and there's a reason I don't do them right now. :)

I don't care if people restrict or not. It's their right an I'm not telling them they shouldn't. Some stuff I completely understand. Some don't make a lot of sense such as textures for items that have to be purchased. (IMO)
And I resent the fact that someone who restricts their stuff download and use non-restricted stuff. Yet they'll complain about gratitude.

Another reason to have terms for linkware... every teenager and her little sister now have websites. It's pretty easy to put up a site on Geocities with a set nice and coded and ready for Brad Pitts picture. To use anything here, a person will have invested time and money and effort into one or more programs. Setting linkware free has more potential for abuse and theft than something here in free stuff that requires considerably more.
