FishNose - it's not paranoia when you KNOW someone's out get you ;o) Seriously, I couldn't agree more with your appraisal of DAZ. That is precisely why I expect them to understand that I (and many other clothes creators) would like a clarification of the unclear EULA. Personally, I am certain that DAZ both accepts and encourages 3rd party stuff, as long it is original (as opposed to having "started life" as DAZ stuff, before being doctored to camouflage its origin). BUT my beliefs just aren't good enough, IMHO. Why ? - At last count 20000+ people had d/l'ed my humble freestuff. - I am part of an up-and-coming website that takes people's MONEY in return for my humble creations. - BOTH some of my freestuff AND some of my commercial items can and may be used to create new Poser stuff. If any of all those people should ask me if my stuff is legal (especially if they are about to do some stuff of their own based on mine), it's just not good enough to answer "I believe I am". I want to be able to say "Yes!" without reservations. This is not a trivial matter, and since DAZ are pros, I believe they'll understand that. AND understand that happy 3rd party producers are the best sales-boosters imaginable. And now I promise to say no more until monday. Keep cool, all!
