Unfortuntely, given your interpretation of Dan's statement (which coincides with my interpretation) - anyone making products for the DAZ figures needs to contact them BEFORE releasing them, regardless of the product. That is, to use your analogy, like Microsoft stating one can create applications for Windows as long as you ask them first (with the details of the product) whether it is OK. Much as I loathe the EuLA's M$ comes out with - not even they would dream of doing that! EK
