There are since Poser Pro also the Pro figures. They look ugly aas hello but they were intended as base for shaping in ZBrush. Up side is they are specifically intended as resource figures and you can do with them as you see fit.

At some point also the Project Human male and female were included. Public Domain as far as I know.

Paul and Pauline were launched as merchant resources, so basically free to distribute provided changed to some degree. This was at least stated repeatedly by Steve Cooper, the Poser product manager at the time. It took Smith Micro however too much pain to word this in the documents with an appropriate degree of obfuscation and illegibility for mortals not trained in US law.

Yes, of the lot of resource figures included with Poser I find the Poser Pro ones the most flexible. It's not difficult at all to sculpt/remodel into a more pleasing default mesh for further development, textures need some commited work.

Pauline's license statement in the manual has a typo and is very vague, I find those figures TOO overly developed to be useful and there's some very irritating issues with the meshes besides.

Then there's Antonia, which is CCA. I'd say, for my resource uses the PPro figs and Antonia are the best... Antonia being the most explicitly open source with no vagueness whatsoever. For certain uses her mesh needs some changes, her eyes and teeth for instance, otherwise a superb resource if you're willing to create your own textures.

The Project Human figures are too high resolution with some rather severe baked in edgeflow that makes them not very useful in my case.

Except for the obj itself, La Femme and L' Homme base and pro are merchant resources also. Included textures, materials, and morphs... for use for market targeted things.
