I didn't change anything about it.  While I may delete posts at times, I don't change someone else's post without their explicit permission, because I don't want to misrepresent what they said.  I'm not sure what would have triggered that email, but I can tell you that it definitely wasn't me.

As for my criticism, the wording of your post suggests that we receive a lot of requests like that, and we're annoyed or exasperated with them.  Honestly, the main problem is with your first paragraph.  Opening by saying that no one is going to pay attention to the post or take it seriously is off-putting.  You might also consider using some more positive phrasing, like "here's how you could improve your request", rather than "here's where you messed up".

I didn't even notice that...

You're welcome to *request* that people not use your work in commercial software, but we don't accept noncommercial requirements here, because that renders it incompatible with most Open Source software. At this point, we have the following options:

* Re-word your description and say that you'd *prefer* that people not use the work in commercial software, as opposed to requiring that.
* Take the work down.

In general, it's somewhat shaky ground for a non-open-source project to make use of CC-BY-SA or GPLed works, as they have to provide a very clear separation between the game engine (which might be closed source) and the art assets (which might be open source). Hence, the chances of your work being used in an exploitative way by a commercial developer is very low, because generally if they're not interested in open source, they'll leave it alone.

Anyway, I'll check back here in a day or so. Please let me know what you'd like to do. If we don't get a clarification soon, I'm going to have to de-publish this work.

Peace,
Bart

Yes.

We actually never published it to the main page due to possible texture licensing issues that weren't resolved.  The issue, unfortunately, was the search page showing unpublished entries.
