Read it carefully, Zev, as this is considered the definition of 'open source'. As noted, unless freely redistributable and providing the source code for others to update or modify at need, a program or script would not meet the definition of 'open source' that is used out in the real world. And of course any updates and modifications done by other parties would have to be freely provided to all, including the original writer of the code, so that everyone is on the same page. As you imply only registered businesses that could do things to Draper's benefit need such, you are talking most assuredly about licensed code that the original IP owner maintains control over.

As to the obsession with the g-thing, I wish I knew...aside from the Poser centric mindset of having to hack and script a way just to prove it could possibly work, sorta-kinda. Hopefully the next iteration of Poser implements some version of implicit skinning. That would be iced....
