Eternl_Knight: that "better catsuit" example makes me wonder. If it is derived from the DAZ mesh everything is clear as glass: DAZ has the option to stop the release. But if this better catsuit is modeled from scratch? Joint parameters will look a LOT like the joint parameters of the figure it conforms to - or else it wouldn't conform. Morphs would be unique to the catsuit, made from scratch. Could DAZ still force it off the market? I seriously doubt it. UVmapping is another can of worms. What if that "better catsuit" were UV compatible with the DAZ catsuit? Would it give DAZ a handle if they wanted it off the market? I doubt whether DAZ would have an item pulled, even if they could according to their EULA. You're absolutely right, DAZ is a profit-motivated operation. And they know their customers pretty well, including the probability of loosing customers if they did something that would be perceived as unreasonable. Nevertheless, if they CAN do it, they WILL do it if it is in their own interests. That's business.
