First of all, Renderosity sells MANY "merchant resource" packs, including and not limited to eyes. (Also, head/body bases for characters, which most merchants then use with their own makeup etc) Reselling as-is means RESELLING THE SOURCE FILES, but selling them as EYEBALLS (not textures) in SL would still fall under the "Not as-is" part of the terms.
Besides all that, regardless of what the license says, obviously permission was asked and acquired.
There IS a difference between a merchant resource pack, and a character pack on renderosity. And NO ONE seems to pay any attention to this small but important detail. The whole issue with MMS was NOT that she used renderosity content, it was that she used content that was not licensed to be used in THAT WAY. Had she purchased a MERCHANT RESOURCE KIT to make the skins, nothing would have been wrong with that; that's what they are FOR.
