Hi

I just noticed https://hdrihaven.com started to offer 100%-free-for-commercial-use CC-0 licensed quality HDR-images for everybody. Great resource for any 3D artist!

Thanks for the heads-up. The explanation of why he changed to free is interesting; anyone (considering) selling assets via gumroad or whatever service should definitely check it out.

it is interesting but and I quote: 

"he ideal solution was to just release everything for free outright, but then we’re back to square one: not being able to afford the bandwidth costs, and being forced to go back to some normal desk job."

if this is truly what he wants fair enough, but no one should feel bad for charging for their work, going backwards where you can't even meet your operating costs doesn't strike me as the way forward and I personally wouldn't encourage anyone to emulate him or his model.
