Apparently it was both DAZ and SM, according to this official statement on the issue by RDNA:

So I'm going to assume it was some part of Possette that was used, since that was when zygote split and formed DAZ, and there was some legal controversy over the whole figure issue at the time, that made the figure open-source-but-not, or at least prevented either company from claiming complete ownership, or some such mess. I don't know. Whatever. None of it should matter now anyway. There have been a ton of figures born since then. 

And the way to avoid crap like that is to #1: NOT steal any portion of a figure's mesh or anything else, and think you can get away with it, cause someone will always figure it out eventually and then you're screwed, at least reputation-wise if not legally/financially, and #2: ALWAYS keep development records of your original work, so that in the event someone does claim you took something from someone else's work, you have the proof that you didn't. 

Over the last couple years that I've been building Lucas and Laila, I have nearly 30 gigs of development files for EACH figure. Every time I save something, I make a new save, instead of overwriting the previous, so that every change I've made is documented, just in case anyone ever gets ballsy and tries to claim this belongs to that or whatever. That is, in case I ever actually release the figures for public use.
