Simple answer: CL has stated over and over that the intention of the EULA is NOT to prevent 3rd parties from creating Poser content or Poser helper apps. I firmly BELIEVE them, and I am certain that if the authors of Morph Manager and the Tailor would write to CL and ask them for a letter stating that their products are acceptable under the EULA, CL would be happy to oblige. If they do not, then we can all raise bloody hell, and DAZ and the author of the Tailor can take CL to court over lost revenues to challenge the EULA. ;) I am not the sort of person to say "trust in Curious." I'm not a flag waver for them, and I believe they can do wrong things like anyone. But in this case, folks, give them the benefit of the doubt. Ask them to approve, specifically, officially, in writing, all of the currently existing helper apps. They don't want to over-clarify for us in general terms because what if they slip up... you know how much we analize every pearl that falls from their lips... they could use one wrong syllable and give away something that they wanted to keep. Let them address it on a case by case basis. Their intention is to prevent competitors from using CL's own creation to steal customers away from CL. That is their only intention. The Tailor does not compete with Poser. Neither does Morph Manager. And until we ask them specifically, not generally, then all this is rhetoric. Phoenix
