Mike--what Jim said. Any custom character you buy or get for free is likely to be a cr2 file. I have about 4 custom handspan studios characters, and those cr2s are not redistributable. Likewise if I make a character starting with a handspan cr2 I can't redistrib. it. Vicky2 is no different than any other custom Vicky...the only one I know of that doesn't work this way is SMV, as Jim points out. However it looks like DAZ will allow morphs to be disted via squished-obj, or you could export your custom morph from vicky 2 to vicky 1's cr2 and then distribute the vicky1 cr2. (check with daz first, of course). It looks like daz is actually being more liberal in this than most custom creators would be--if you base a character on someone else's cr2 to start with, even if you strip their original stuff out of the cr2 once you've tweaked it, it's still partially their property. So the divvying may work differently with vicky2 characters at daz. Basically Jim's the only one who's come up with a way to lock down his version of vicky so his mods can't go trickling through other characters this way...clever! I expect DAZ will have a way of selling custom V2 characters that don't include the price of V2, or there'd be no reason to buy more than one. I hope, anyway... :)
