"My reading of the DAZ end user licence leads me to believe that they consider all clothing made for their figures to be derived works and subject to their approval." "I did get clarification from DAZ. The original meshes themselves do not fall within the EULA in regards to derivative work as long as you did not directly lift the shape from the figure whether via shrink-wrapping, contour projection and similar methods. If you hand-fitted lofted splines or box-modeled you are fine. This works for me and I do understand their POV. " This is correct. The Eula allows them, at will and without other cause, to block the sale of any product specifically related to their figures. It does not give them ownership of the elements that comprise that product outside of, directly, their own specific products. So the meshes, textures, and ancillary materails are still owned by the creator -- jsut not usable in the original form for which they are intended, pursuant to DAZ's will. As for the figure to which the clothing should fit -- any figure but V3.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
