The point is I can spend 40 bucks on DSI's digital clone of Dina Vannoni and use her right out of the box for anything I want to, naughty, nice, or commercial and not have to worry about EULA's, negotiations, or permissions.

Read the EULA again! The EULA states you can't:

"(3) sell any portion of rendered output that contains any portion of the 3-D Model(s) without prior written consent of Anna-Marie Goddard, her attorney(s), or other legal business representation."

Now, that does not say you can use the mesh in commercial products if "you play with her face a bit so it's not recognizable"...it says you can't sell any portion of an image (rendered output) that used that mesh (any portion of the 3-D Model(s)) to create the image. That's the only way you can interpret that clause.

I hope what DAZ get's out of this "fuss" is that the next time the decide to do a realistic human mesh, they'll do it with someone that doesn't need to restrict the EULA except to protect the mesh from distribution.
