"get yours straight. th Daz EULA covers dirivative works of which a hybrid is one and Dazz reserve the right to force any dirivative to be withdrawn at their request. again. READ THE EULA."

It depends upon what is meant by "derivative." I don't think you're talking about items like Dodger's Aeon figures, but if you are, they are fine as far as DAZ is concerned. At least that's what their copyright agent told me. There are some pretty clear reasons for this ... one has to have the DAZ original meshes in the first place, and for those Aeon figures that can wear DAZ mesh clothing ... still more potential sales of DAZ products. Obviously, they're very liberal regarding clothing made from their meshes in a "derivative" manner. No point in getting into the technical nitty-gritty here, but the reality is that the EULA is more about perfectly reasonable self-protection than utter monopoly. The company insists that their relationship with the community is symbiotic, that it works to mutual advantage.
