Let's get a couple of things cleared up here: 1-PZ3 files are OK to sell so long as you remove morph targets and the like from them. This also applies to figures that the grouping tool has been used on, grouping tooled parts add geometry to the pz3 file. The actual figure file is referenced in the Pz3/Cr2 file like a hyperlink to a web page. If the geometry is not already present, the link will fail. 2-Original images, video clips, etc. you make in Poser are OK to sell and freely distribute. You have a license to use the Zygote models for this purpose. 3-Selling a geometry or distributing a geometry without the maker's permission is ILLEGAL. The morph target/PZ3/CR2 file trade was allowed by Zygote in a copyright debate way-back-when. This was done to support and encourage Poser users. Morph targets may not be sold. 4-Objaction Mover format may be sold since it does not contain any geometry, only a modification. The file requires you to own the geometry before hand and tells Mover how to change the model, therefore an Objaction file is not a derivitive work on its own.
