Some of you folks make accurate points about what DAZ could do per their EULA if they really, really wanted to, but regardless of whether or not they are nice, just imagine ... Imagine them saying "OK, everyone out of the pool. Everything that is in any way derivative of our proprietary meshes must be removed from distribution whether commercial or free." Thousands of clothing items. It would be commercial suicide. Supporting merchant and customer loyalty would be badly damaged. They know how mob-like the community is. They're reminded frequently. They know how easily offended and incensed we are. It's accurate to say "just because they haven't yet doesn't mean they never will," but only "technically." Cut 'em a little slack for intelligence, if nothing else.
And lest I be accused of worship, lemme just say that I think Unimesh has been overused too. In my opinon the "young teens" and the newer "Millennium children" are too monstrous to be acceptable. They look like reproportioned V3, which I guess it's reasonably accurate to say they are. The original Mil Kids were a bit too cartoony (being V2 derivative,) but I prefer them to the bizarrely un-childlike Unimesh kids, pardon the extreme thread drift. :-)
