Stormi, sorry about some confusion... There are two things mixed up: PCF is indeed a safe way to distribute modified meshes, because your customers will need the original .obj on their disk in order to decode the PCF. However, Maz - the original creator of PCF and developer of the ObjAction Mover tool - only permits usage of his tool for non-commercial purposes, which means that you are only free to post PCF files created with it as long as you don't charge money for your profit. He has not (yet) setup a normal business for a commercial usage fee, but (to my knowledge) he already made individual agreements with a couple of artists to solve the problem. If you plan to sell your stuff, just contact him through maz@sandylodge.demon.co.uk and I'm sure you can work it out. If you have trouble to get in touch with him (he's occasionally very busy) but you are under pressure of time, drop me a note (by this boards webmail) and I can try to contact him otherwise.
