I see no reason why they can’t? it’ll just look bad in that context
this has to do with a product IE do not use f2u/f2e stuff in something that someone will have to pay for, like if dark deity was just ripping from the repo or something
paying an artist to make something is just a commission, if the payer wants to make it free to use after the fact, they can do that, or they can not have it accessible. this is different from charging people to use an already established/completed product
hold on, ignore this; i misread the situation entirely.
