EK, not only has the M3 and V3 bases been released for free, but also DAZ Studio. This would seem to be some acknowledgement on DAZ's part that there is more involved that making money as there is an opportunity to participate in the community as well. I believe the reason some people are getting upset they feel their ability to profit from DAZ products will be diminished if the content moves away from marketing and more towards open source figures and freebies.
