3D Cafe withdrew their freebies years ago, and they never returned to the best of my knowledge; from the message on their site right now, I wonder if the whole thing is gone for good.

The Inria site was in hot water a while back for redistributing stuff without permission - even mine, and it takes a LOT of effort to contravene my terms of use. ;)
Finally, Archive 3D (which is where Inria claim to have got it from) seems to be yet another of those all-encompassing copyright contravention sites. Try my simple test: download one of the human figures (they always have loads of figures, mostly female). If it has DAZ texture maps included, that clinches it for me.
To summarise, although the model is available, you probably shouldn't use it. :(
