In the FAQ it has:

Can I reverse engineer a model I downloaded from 3D Warehouse?
Answer: Only if the developer provides public access to the source material to the model.

The terms say you can reproduce and modify, even re-upload and use the modified version. Also, I'm confused because 6 and 7 are seemingly opposite.

  1. Can I include models from 3D Warehouse in the research project I am publishing?
    Answer: No, this is impermissible aggregation. You need approval of each developer.

  2. If I upload a model to 3D Warehouse, will I be paid each time a user downloads it or uses it?
    Answer: No, you are granting a royalty-free license to each user and may not charge a fee to download a model at this time.

In 6 it says you need to ask for permission of the model creator, and in 7 it says they grant a royalty-free license. Some insight would be appreciated, specifically about why you would need permission if they grant a royalty-free license.
