I'm not a lawyer, but this one is pretty obvious, folks - something in my gut tells me that cr2s for new characters with geometries not owned by Curious labs (such as Daz characters and DSI's Dina) are not going to be under Curious Lab's copyright. You can own the copyright to a file format, under certain conditions. Let's take SWF for instance. Its owned by Macromedia, the ever so famous Flash format. So, Macromedia owns the format. They own the copyright - to the format ONLY. From their FAQ about the SWF format, it says: -- Is a licensing fee required for access to the Macromedia Flash file format (SWF)? No fees are required for access to the Macromedia Flash file format (SWF) or for the creation of products based on the SWF format. SWF files can be created with many leading software packages, including Macromedia's Flash, FreeHand, Fireworks, and Generator, as well as third-party tools. -- Isn't that nice of Macromedia to make their format free to the developer world? IF you own Flash, and make Flash animations... YOU own the copyright to the particular SWF files you make. NOT Macromedia. You don't have to ask Macromedia if you can distribute your SWF animations! If you export SWF animations from Poser PP, same deal. Its your work. Its the same when you have Photoshop. Adobe doesn't own your PSD artwork files, either - even though the PSD format is their creation. So, if you have modelled a new character from scratch and set it up in Poser - in all likelihood you own the CR2 to that character too, despite who owns the format. I'm sure that Curious Labs understands this concept, well at least I HOPE they do!
