Oh and back to Sturk's original post now that it's been quoted back at me, just what is the problem with adjusting the dials and changing the colors and making them your own? You're not redsitributing the originals at that point. If what you're redistributing isn't the original setting, then what's the problem here? The restrictions are on the original shaders. Are you gonna tell me now that that restriction applies to any derivative shader close to or similar to the originals is forbidden? Do you reall want to end all creativity in this hobby with this legalistic attitide of ownership?
How about this "Hypothetical" situation? I create a python script that automatically creates in a batch process, every possible shader there will ever be from Poser 6's material room. I run said python script then turn around and sell a package with all these shaders and claim it's my own work. Do I have the right to restrict every possible shader you can makein Poser? NO! Did I create them with my script? Sure! This Hypothetical situation could also be used with Poses and light sets if they're just dial settings.
This begs the assumption that I know diddly about Python, which I don't so it's definately a purely hypothetical situation! But I'm guessing it is possible to write such a script and do just what I've proposed if you know enough python language.
