the use of tailor itself is not in any way violating any legal arrangements DAZ may have, and the availability of it does not pose any threat at all to DAZ. The deal was likely in the best interests of both parties. Nor is using Tailor a violation of DAZ policy, as tailoring a figures clothes only encourages more production, which in turn encourages sales of their millenium figures and other products. While I dont use tailor personally, it is still a very legal program and DAZ has no issues with it's use or sale. The problem here is simply distributing the clothing items you make, either for sale or for free, for a m2 figure. In this way you are distributing a portion of the m2 figures cr2 file, which in fact is strictly against the license. Using tailor on non m2 figures causes no problems, and you are still free to use it on m2 figures FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL use. You simply just cant go around giving it to everyone else when your done. This not only makes it possible to copy morphs from a tailored set to give other figures the m2 morphs, it also can be considered a workaround to actually buying tailor yourself. To get around any DAZ issue regarding tailor, simply stop giving all your stuff away. And if your worried about legal action, just pull it when DAZ coimplains and nothing will happen. If you just suck as an artist and dont need tailor to make your own renders, then just dont buy the damn thing. Using Tailor to distribute morphs you did not create is no different than buying a photorealistic texture from the store, copy/pasting parts of it to another texture map, and then distributing it for free.
