again, if you dont like the conditions that a contributor attaches to his shared free item, then dont download it and move on. comments like this really infuriate freestuff providers: "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. " dont waste your time downloading it? that whole two seconds? how about the hours of time and effort the provider spent creating that item? hosting it? sharing it with everyone with the simple condition that it not be used in renders that they find offensive and dont want to be associated with? this is not a legal issue, this is an ethical one. and honestly, i doubt this thread is going to encourage anyone to provide more freestuff. these same threads come up every now and then, and the last one only served to infuriate and deter some well-known freestuff providers. its certainly made me and rio reconsider the free projects i was working on until last night. as for marketplace products - my stance is the complete opposite. i refuse to purchase any product that has a modified license, or conditions in addition to those set out by the standard renderosity license. but freestuff is something entirely different - it reflects the selfless contribution of time and effort by a person to the community, and im quite sickened by some of the responses in this thread, namely the ones that contain such insults as 'wasting my time downloading' and 'stupid conditions'.
