IMO DAZ has gone too far. I think their definition of "derivitive" has expanded like Vicky 2's breasts. The last time I checked, you could not copyright a "concept" or an "idea". But that is what a general "shape" is in the 3D modeling world. It is the mesh that provides the copyrightable substance, not the shape. I can understand that literal CODE can be copyrighted too, but conforming morphs don't violate copyright because they are not literal copies of original code, but must be "translated" to reflect the differences between the morphed object and the target. DAZ is suggesting that anything which conforms to the SHAPE of a morphed Vicky2 or Michael2 is an infringement. I say Bah! Maybe it is time for this community to get together and develop our own copyright free meshes jointly and avoid this hassle alltogether. We certainly have the talent around to do it.
