And this having been done by SM, what is the point to come throwing rocks at Bondware/Renderosity?

At what point does 'Rosity own the decision to retain the licensing feature that everyone is complaining about? Smith Micro started it, but it is being continued. At some point shifting credit or blame back to the former owner is silly and a sort of evasive, if not wholly disingenuous. Unless Smith Micro had the programming team weave the licensing feature into the code so it can't be removed without breaking various unrelated features, making the removal cost-prohibitive, presumably the phone-home licensing is still in there because the new owners want it there. In 2015 or 2016, there was concern that Smith Micro might dump Poser and no one would pick it up. Assurances were made that, should that happen, plans were in place to permanently activate Poser licenses, so users could keep using the orphaned software. Bad code can be fixed or removed, undesirable features deactivated.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
