I'm not going to start censoring stuff, but I'd like to make a few remarks.
First, with the advent of the new EU directive on copyright, site owners will become liable for what users upload, and will have to take measures to prevent users from uploading copyrighted materials. Once this is implemented, threads like this will start to cause real trouble for me as a site owner. If/when the law starts to requiring it of me, I will have to delete posts containing such material. And I really prefer not having to do that.
Second, we expect users of makehuman to show at least a modicum of respect for the licenses we have set on the software, and the licenses set by third-part authors in the repos. In consequence, it would be strange if we didn't show the same respect for other people's licenses, even commercial ones. We will thus ask users to not upload obviously copyrighted materials on the forum or in the repos.
