..reading the article... when I do architectural or engineering  visualizations of other people's designs - houses, products, subdivisions, topography and other 'point clouds' etc, I'm in the same boat, I don't actually own the designs or the meshes once I get paid for creating them. Which Is why I make sure I get paid well for forking over exclusive use of the meshes to my client.

The only right that I get to reserve is the use of the images and meshes I built for self promotion. In some cases the client does not have the right to redistribute, without my consent, or I don't have right to redistribute without the client's consent.

In most cases, if my client hired me to make a mesh, they are able to contract another outfit to do the renderings or revise the mesh. As long as I got paid for my part of the work.

I can't say that I read all the details of the case and articles. My first impression is that I'm a little surprized that Meshwerks is claiming copyright.  I have to read more about it.
