Tom's letter does raise an interesting point, however. Because we all own Poser, we all have Posette -- the model is a default part of the software, not an add-on; it comes with the program and is pretty much part and parcel, just like dial settings or the code that runs the engine that does the render. So, following the logic, selling anything that requires Poser in order to be functional would be just as much in violation as using a default hand mesh. Not trying to open any can of worms, but just curious as to how and where people draw whatever line there may be. Just as a parallel, if I create something in Quark Xpress and then sell it, I've used pieces of the program to create that flyer or book or poster. Part of Quark is now written into the final document that goes to the printer and that I get to invoice. Same with an illustration I prepare in Photoshop -- part of the software code is now intrinsically written into the document that I'm selling to my client, and without Photoshop, the document may be useless. How is that different from using a default hand mesh to create a commercial character?
