After reading the posts of the last few pages, one has think that SM would make a smart move to change the way it handles it's SDK. I am told it costs a small fortune to buy and therefore a developer like a Robert Templeton who has added great value to Poser via his interposer product struggles to make it work because he doesn't have all the tools-information-resources he needs. 

Just think if the SDK was licensed in a fashion of pay as you go. Buy 10, 25, 50 or 100 user-license pack for X. Where X is a very cost effective and attractive number for the developer to buy into at a low investment. The more addons for poser the developer sells, the more money goes into SM's pockets. A win-win for everybody. 

One has to wonder what tools we would have today if a situation like this existed and the SDK pack was in the hands of Robert, PhilC, Ockahm, Semideu, Dimension3D, BB,  among others. Right now SM gets zero dollars for anything they have created be it standalone or Python. I wonder what the dollars would be if SM got say 2.50USD license fee for every copy sold of their addon to Poser if the developer used the SDK. Then I wonder what great tools we would have, as SM would  leverage the development, expansion and value of the product and attract rivet counters and the causal user via the minds of some pretty smart people. IE: SM would create a revenue stream it does not have today, without hiring an additional employee and again I think we would have a vast improved set of tools to use.
