If you distribute the cr2 to change Judy's body, then you aren't including her head and DAZ/CL would have NO legal ground to stand on since there is no infringement. For example, since I own Poser 5 I already have a legal copy of Judy. You would be able to sell me your high-res body to use with Judy's head. DAZ/CL could not prevent that, nor would they. You aren't infringing on their property in any way. You aren't distributing Judy's head, just an original body. I still firmly believe that CL owns Judy, and not DAZ. But you should ask CL to be sure. Also, a company can't invoke ownership rights selectively. If they are going to invoke ownership rights, they must do so for all instances that they are aware of, or risk losing all ownership rights.
