You had an actual DAZ representative in here telling you directly that that DSON was open source...not sure how much more clear that could have been. Yet there are still people arguing about the legality of it. It is like they really do not want it to be free and available for use. Very weird.

In case it is open source please provide me a download link to the source code of the DSON importer. I would love to improve it.

Thanks in advance.

You're confused. The DSON Specification is open source:

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/start

The DSON Importer for Poser is a plugin for Poser that reads the DSON Specification to load content created in the DSON format into poser. The plugin is not open source.

Part of the problem with this whole discussion is no one on the Poser side still, after all these years, knows the difference between the plugin and the actual specification. The specification needs to be read to load the content, not disassembling the plugin. (Which is where the DMCA nonsense is coming from)

It's a moot point anyway, so it's best to move on.
