Oh, massive confusion. ;) A morph is simply data that tells Poser where to move the mesh points. At least that is my understanding. As such, without the obj and Poser, it is sort of useless data. According to some here, data cannot be copyright. To add to this, I create morphs with magnets, but again some responses indicate one cannot copyright magnet settings, as they are simply data and program specific. I guess if we keep thinking about it, we will figure out that an obj file is useless data until it is put in a program capable of reading it. And, the program is useless data until it is put on a computer capable of running it. OK, I must stop. I am starting to confuse myself. ;) I guess this would be a moot point if vendors did not create all this useless, expressionless data. ;) To the original post, if your are going to sell or distribute your poses, just spend a little more time and create them from scratch, then there is no question (at least in your mind). ;) I hope I have not aggrevated anyone too much with my point of view. :)
