Assuming that you only talk about conforming cloth, you can easily make dynamic cloth to fit several characters. And im really in doubt about the rigging, because I do agree that its data, well its as much data as the mesh of a character is. But humans as all other animals are in general very similar in shape and functionality, that you are working within very limited option compared to how many 3d humans are being created every day, which pretty much all use a somewhat similar setup. Remember that Genesis and all those characters are not new to this, they copied the basic rigging setup and technique from somewhere else.

An artist's interpretation of the human form still belongs to that artist. Even if you were working with a 3D scanned human model, the rights to that scan is still owned by someone - likely whoever created it. And if you were to give the V4 model - or any other human model - to 10 different rigging artists then you would get 10 different rigs. While the shapes may be similar from one human model to the next they are not exact, and the joint parameters would rarely match exactly.

That is being sold on Ebay and cost 140 bucks 3ft garden statue.

Title: Fat David Michelangelo Super- Size Garden Statue Sculpture

If you do a search there on:

David Michelangelo

There are 1000+ items like that you can buy

There's no copyright on Michelangelo's David, as the statue is over 500 years old. Copyrights do expire eventually. 130 years I think from the death of the creator. Something like that. You can find replicas of it all over the place. I have one in alabaster that's about 6 inches tall I got 20+ years ago.
