It all started with this, posted by PhoenixRising:

Commercial items are not meant to be used as development or
resource tools to make freebies or other products. This includes mesh, morphs and
textures. Actually there isn't anything I can think of that would be allowed.

These are the big things to avoid.

Never use Daz morphs to make characters. This is not allowed. Morphs must be from
scratch with no help from Daz morphs even at the lowest settings. This is something we
were lax about with V2 we are watching closely now.

Don't use Daz meshes as a starting point. Like textures and morphs, the work must be
completely from scratch.

Doing to for your private use is one thing but must not be shared. I know you were just
asking about the texture but since others will read this I wanted to cover the basics. Hope
that helps.

And later added:

People can distribute pose files only. Using Daz morphs for third party characters was never
allowed. Too many people just looked the other way. The morphs are not commercial tools
for vendors.

People can still do characters using custom morphs and pose files. But spinning dials and
spawning a new morph is not a valid "custom" morph.

We are slowly looking into V2, Michael, and Stephanie characters, so if anyone cheated
please take them down before we come across them.

This includes filtering the morphs onto the MilGirls. All these things should be explained to
vendors and checked by store management at all Poser stores.

To which I replied:

This could get ugly, no?

Who's to say if a squished morph contains .010 of "Mouth Narrow"? My guess? It's
impossible to tell. But DAZ will be "closely examining" marketed characters for morphs that
contain even the slightest bit of theirs.

So, what is the method used to determine? I remember a post when V3 came out that
pretty much said "Look, we can just TELL, okay?" which implies that the method used is
totally esoteric.

Which means DAZ, essentially, is on a Witch-hunt.
