Daz's last statement does not apply to just Daz meshes. If you make your own mesh and morph it to fit M2 figures, then you are violating their rights by copying their morphs. If I create my own body suit to fit Vicki 2 and create morphs so the mesh will fit her different morphs, then if I distribute the mesh, I am in violation of their EULA. Most everyone knows you can not legally redistribute the .cr2's of Vicki, Mike, etc. The statement concerns even meshes that are not Daz's meshes. If they are morphed to fit the version 2 figures, then they can not be distributed without Daz's permission. Until Daz clarifies their statement, I have to go by what they have most recently said, and they have specifically stated that clothing that is morphed to fit the version 2 figures can be prohibited on several grounds: 1) it is a derivation if it fits a specific version 2 morph, 2) if the mesh can be used on a different model to give that model the appearance of that morph (that would be most breast morphs, most body morphs, etc.), or 3) if it can be considered in direct competition to a Daz product. I'm not brandishing a torch, calling for blood. I am pointing out what Daz has said and the pitfalls in their stance. I will voice my concerns and vote on their position with my wallet.
