Look at it this way... Whether the models, textures, poses, etc. come from the Poser program or from revision work of other peole, none of it is "original." All are based on Poser/Zygote originals. What is Original is the image, which is yours. The electronic Poser (etc.) stuff is like paints, canvas, etc. They are Raw Materials for Artistic Creation. Microsoft does not own a document you make with their software. Adobe does not own an image you create. Just as Grumbacher does not own an image you create with their oil paints. You can publish the image as original and as yours. It is not cheating or copying in that sense. How many people can or do mix up their own oil paints, or make their own pastels from scratch? How many can create a Poser program like Larry Weinberg? These things are tools and raw materials. Feel free to create. I have posted at my website commissioned illustration work which features Poser figures and prop models. It is my work and I am free to post the images without anyone's permission. Relax and keep on Posering! 3Don
