I thought that that part of the P5 EULA was legally binding. Curious
Labs went to considerable lengths with the set up of the part of the
license that covers the use of proprietary geometry from restricted
content data because they'd had problems when they tried to prosecute
clothes-makers who stole the geometry of P4 models.

I didn't follow the legal arguments, but there was considerable
discussion at the time on alt.binaries.3d.poser where it was reckoned to
be fairly solid. Unfortunately the discussion is not archived on Google
Groups because of the word "binaries" in the group name.
