The reason this has been a nightmare is that it's the second derivative work I've made available (the first was an A-line dress experiment that used the meshes from two of Two Swords' dresses. When I wrote my restrictions, I basically composed a read me that stated "What he said..." referring to Two Sword's restrictions on his original products). With the basic .fc2 and .pz2 files, even though the formats are proprietary, the information contained within them is original--so as with uploading a .pdf, or .swf, I didn't sweat it. The same with uploading original props in the .pp2 format (another proprietary format that just makes life a little easier for the end user downloading the new prop). However--I wrote up a simple read me that should put few additional restrictions on the original Kaz hair package (read: these morphs CAN be used in commercial works--Kaz's hair allows this use, and so do the new morphs). What it boils down to is: Use the morphs according to the agreement in its archive file, and the Kaz Hair package according to the agreement set down by Patrick Martin and DAZ. Trav--I hear ya. Packing those morphs into a .hr2 file was a pain. Zygote has been pretty careful not to use copyright restrictions to hurt the community in the past, and I suspect (or at the very least, hope) that they will continue to do things in a manner that won't punish the Poser community.
