Poser is not (usually) a model creation tool: typically it is used to pose 
and modify - by moving vertices rather than by creating new ones - a model 
created by a third party. If the original model was created by yourself, you 
own the copyright. If you didn't create the model, you don't own the 
copyright on the model itself, but you own the pose, morph targets, movement 
files etc. that you designed. Of course, when distributing files, you cannot 
distribute what is not yours, only what you created. IIRC, DAZ/Zygote got 
burned very badly a decade ago by an earlier, much less stringent version of 
their EULA). I'm not sure what the exact policy is when it comes to models 
that DAZ distributes for free, though. In any case, the rights should be 
specified in the EULA attached to the models.
