I haven't seen any distinction in distributing for free vs. for profit. This issue is copyright infringement, not presence or lack of creativity. For example. If I want to sell a new "character" which is simply Vicky 3 with the "muscular" morph turned to 0.8, and I wish to distribute that "character" as a text file (like Penquisto has mentioned above) with instructions to turn the dial to 0.8, I am in no way in violation of the agreement with DAZ. This does not violate their copyright. Now, if someone wants to buy my fairly creatively challenged "character", that's their problem for buying a product with such little creative content. But by selling such a product, I have not harmed DAZ. That said, the way Penquisto describes distribution is not very different from the way DAZ has said is ok... use a pose file to specify all of those dial spins. It's fine to give for free, or it's fine to sell. Every customer will have to have the morph packs, so DAZ is not hurt.
