I have a character that I'd like to release as a freebie, but there is one hang-up.  The eyebrows on the head texture were copied off of Daz's M3 Universal Textures (Hi-Res) and grafted onto an otherwise original texture using blending tools in Photoshop.  I have contacted Daz regarding permission to distribute this texture, but I'm afraid it's going to be ages before I hear back from them.  You see, I contacted  them about a month or a little more ago about brokering a product, and after I replied to their initial response, I received nothing further.  I even sent a reminder message.  Still nothing.  Is Daz notoriously slow at responding to e-mails, or is something wrong on my end?  Can anyone help me get a quicker response?

Thanks!

yes. you may not use parts of other people's textures. not even for free stuff.

If and when they get back to you, the answer will almost certainly be "no". It would set a disturbing precedent for them to allow it as a one-off.

If you take a look in the Artist Resources section of the Marketplace here you'll find a lot of photo sets, and some skin resource packs which have ready-made textures included which you can freely adapt for your own needs and re-sell or redistribute as freebies:

DAZ can be slow, can be fast.... That sounds like something I would deal with in general... Could you email me again and I;ll see what the hold up on getting a response to you was?
