> There are reasons she could want to do that. I could cite the famous artist Nina Paley. But Gwenn Seemel is closer to a sculptor: http://www.gwennseemel.com/index.php/copyright/

Thanks for the links, I'll take them a look for what's rest of Sunday.

> Anyway, the sculptor *can* "allow everyone to sell his sculptures without paying him anything" but he does not *have to*. Like I wrote before, I do not consider that forbidding commercial uses of artistic work is unethical.

We share the same thought.

> They do not *have to* be allowed to "sell the product" because it is nonfunctional (not because of the effort put by the artist; the same could be said of free software developers). They *can* do that if the author allows it though. The artist decides and either way is fine. What is not OK in my book is to forbid non-commercial sharing.

I agree with you.
