Quote - A license is a contract, which falls under civil, not criminal law, which is what ex post facto legislation involves.  The DAZ EULA (which has not changed recently AFAIK) spells out what derivative works of theor copyrighted products are allowed and what can be done with them, and they have given an opinion as to what is permisible as far as sharing rigging goes.  Based on your comments, for your own protection I suggest you consult with an attorney in your country for advice if any aspects of DAZ' license are unclear...

 

Fact is that the DAZ Eula prohibits anything exept usage of Rendering. Fact is also that any who will resell an addon Product modefiing the Mesh has to be done with agrement of DAZ , the figure could in theory only be used in her his original state to create renders. that is the DAZ Eula in short terms .

International Law requires Translation of contracts DAZ does not offer that feature, in each cauntry there would be the need of a representant for the Product to make it Legal.

Any Vendor who have created Clothings addons Morphs etc would have to be given by daz a legal written Permission to use and resell direct related Products EX. Morphs integrated into the Mesh ! witch would as soon signed by Daz, give the full right to the one reselling of parts of the figure.

as for it has been done since Five years without any explict Permissions from DAZ throughout the vendors, in Knowelege and with support from DAZ,makes it  an Unwritten Contract to be able to do it anyway. DAZ Broke hes own Laws and contract and cant come now Saying that anybody did anything against he's eula.

As mentioned before any changes modificatons Injectable morphs or coordinates made from third Person are not propriety of DAZ ( They are not under hes contract ) even if the purpose of usage is a Figure he Provided.

using for example crossdresser to modefie or INJ morphs will recreate the Mesh In low Medium or High res save a new Obj file and remap the figure. means that these will not be comparable to the Originally used Mesh.

to conclude this my meaning would be that DAZ offers the millenium figure onto the free market to Improve he her ( Not locking her into a cage as hes little Trophy )even doh that it might of been a copy of dan farr and he's wife. He could aprofite as well. the ones who provide new ideas to Improve the mesh could keep her in buisness. he would not even lose the status of being the creator of the originall mesh ! this way the stores even Hes store could approfite of new posibilities of products to be sold.the way it goes now he only restricts him self and others ( calling that GOD complex ) but is not rational, buisnessman should think as such.
