Very, very well said.

I remember reading the EULA pretty closely before I bought it and it states
that you can't distribute original geometry, but you can do whatever you
want to with the output (images, movies). I suppose if you want to sell
clothes for Poser, you'll want to sell through their Content Paradise site.
The thing about Poser is that you pretty much HAVE to start from their
figure geometry in order to make these clothes reasonably close-fitting. I
don't know what kind of leg they'd have to stand on based on the limitations
of their software. Most of the shirts and stuff is just a matter of grabbing
a polygon group and dropping it into a patch editor to alter a few points.
