This is a thread at PoserPros. The following is a quote from Dan Farr on page 18: "DAZ does have another issue with the Poser 5 EULA that as far as we know may not apply to others to the same degree. This is the non-compete aspect of the agreement. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, products such as Mimic or Victoria 3 could be legally argued to be in competition with Poser 5. This concerns us. Also at this time, so as not to appear ulterior in having expressed our genuine concern for the above issues, and so as not to invalidate related issues raised by others, we feel that we need to be publicly forthcoming on another item. Last January, at a point in time when we had a very uncertain view of the future of Poser and our involvement in its development we decided to move in a different direction. A direction that we feel will bring us closer to this great community and help it to grow. We are currently developing a rendering/animation tool. I will not go into the specifics of this application at this time but just say that in some ways it will be viewed as a competitive application to Poser."
