Regarding Anton: I have no idea why he left DAZ, other than the remarks he posted here. I hope he does return to the Poser "scene" because he's a damn fine artist and a very generous guy, too. Regarding DAZ: I think what they have done is an incredibly brave and generous thing. I have no doubt V3 and M3 would continue to sell well enough that they've probably taken a huge hit in their profits, which (of course) they hope to make up with loyalty sales, feelgood sales, catching new customers and so forth. Regarding non-DAZ models: Maybe I'm in a minority but I make a point of buying almost every human figure I can get my hands on. True, I don't use 'em much (I have yet to render an image with Elle, for example) but I can forsee a time when I will need the diversity of other meshes. The more, the merrier. Another thing which just occurred to me: This here DAZ free idea could well stimulate the market for other content creators. With D|S and the free models it gives a no-risk start to a lot of undecideds. Once they get an idea of what a hell of a lot of fun this 3D lark is, they may well descend on other creators, ready to spend their bucks. This could just be the kickstart we need.
