Now there is a fun problem.  Poser does not do something so a vendor creates a script to do something.  Does Poser now basically copy the script (or what it does) and add it to the program?  What about the person who wrote the script?  How much should they be paid if at all?  Let's say using made up numbers since I don't know the real numbers that Poser sells 10,000 copies and the script sells 50 copies @ $20 or a total of $1,000.  Does Poser give the script writer 10 cents a copy which works out to the $1,000 dollars or should they get $200,000 since 10,000 people are using his script (or the basics of his script)?  Maybe Poser should get rid of Python so people can't make up scripts to fill in the little holes and wait for the complaint's and do updates to fix these things?  The vast majority of people using Poser are never going to need the features that you are asking for.  A small number have multiple runtimes and one or two have a thousand+.

They did it with Wardrobe Wizard, and I think plenty of people used it. I have no idea what they paid PhilC, but they must have paid him.
