That is the point: POV-Ray users *owning* Poser are free to use their
derived work in their /own projects/. However, they are not free to
distribute their derived work - where it involves the Poser figures or
the Poser Content - or so I understand the EULA.
Clothing entirely made by POV-Ray users can of course be distributed
freely, if a maker so chooses, but even then it may be copyrighted, e.g.
under a Creative Commons licence.

"Derived Work" are the pictures one obtaines. You cannot post the geometry of
Poser figures as an include. For a while another vendor of 3d human figures, DAZ
Studio, provided its main characters for free, so you will find the one or other
human mesh within open resources (e.g. the irtc-sources) but they abandoned this
policy now.

Your own work around Poser figure is free to use if you will give a free license
to it. Otherwise you can sell it at the usual sites (turbosquid, renderosity or
at your own). If you follow Thomas advices and e.g. create a roman armour by
simply extruding the corresponding faces of a Poser figure within a proper mesh
manipulating software (e.g. Wings 3D) than it is your own work and you can post
it to the community or even sell it. You only have to change them a little bit.
(For example if you will have a golden harness, you will put the required faces
of your posed figure, extrude them and give them a golden texture). That's a
simple way to come up with "conforming" clothing. But usually you will like to
modify the results, since this approach yields only something like a part of a
catsuit. And this modifications are your work, Poser has no copyright to this.
Best regards,
Michael
