I have been an intellectual property attorney for ten years now, and I am not concerned about the EULA. I don't think it works a substantial change over what is already in effect with Poser 4.

Still, I think CL could make everybody happier by acknowledging that it is not claiming any ownership in bitmap images (e.g., JPEGs, AVIs, MOVs) etc. output by the program. (As I have not been following this issue too closely, perhaps they already have done so, and I am not aware of it.)

Note: the prohibition against derivatives refers to the Program and Derivatives, which are defined terms. Conspicuously absent from those definitions is any mention of the bitmap images output by the program. Moreover, the EULA contains numerous permissions to generate and distribute content that works with the Program (e.g., textures, props, etc.) These permissions seem pretty consistent with what is already in place.
