I haven't read everything said here but I see a freebie as a gift from the person who makes it, by that I mean they are kindly making something and saying "here you can play with this just don't try to make money with it". A simple email to the maker of the freebie is all that's needed to hopefully get their permission to use it in commercial projects. I'm really greatful to all the people who have made freebies available for me to download, Thank you all. Rob
