Blackhearted, when someone puts silly restrictions on an item they are giving away for use, they are trying to violate the end user's rights to freedom of expression, which for the majority of the world is guaranteed by their government. morally, they should not be trying to force people to follow their own beleifs / morals. restricing what you can do in reguards to redistribution, yes that is their right, but anything else is beyond their rights. personally, I don't ever download anything that has a no commercial use restriction, and if there are other stupid restrictions ( such as being discussed here ) I don't waste my time downloading it. thinking I should dig out the "Asshole EULA" that Stormrage put together for a joke one day and start sending it to people that do put stupid restrictions on free stuff.
