Selling a rendered Image

As long as you render the FF image yourself then it is your "intellectual property" to use as you see fit as per FF.
Now if you actually submitted the image(s) to the US copyright office for registered copyright protection then you could possibly run into an issue of someone else previously applying for, and receiving, a registered copyright on an image that was rendered exactly the same as yours.

raises some interesting points, doesnt it. what if 20 different re-sellers all rendered out the same presets for selling? the really interesting part of this is that the author of the filter is the ONLY one that retains the copyright. the re-sellers retain license use, which grants each of them the right to sell those renders without restriction. to me, that means each of the resellers has zero rights to ask or demand that anyone else take down their render. it also means ...
