You have me confused.

The file formats in use in Poser are opensource for the most part. Anyone with a text editor can modify them, and anyone can write a program to use most of them. Many of the file formats were released to opensource by large companies. Autodesk, Adobe, Microsoft, etc. No one owns the rights to the formats.

Genesis is embedded in a trademarked file format. You can't just write a program to use it.

Ask anyone that tried to do and FBX import/export about that. It took years for Autodesk to relax the grip on that. Blender.org was denied use of FBX for years, and that is a free program that is all opensource.

Maybe you don't understand how licensing works on trademarked stuff. Dunno...
