The Poser Pro meshes that Infinity10 sites above as Unrestricted Content have one little Caveat... Unrestricted unless being used for a competing product. That's a big distinction.

Morph data can be redistributed freely or commercially if its 100% your own creation.

Morphs that are MR derived, such as those morphs included with La Femme pro and Deecey's Body Kit, can be included in a commercial product. Not permissible for free items.

Morph data is only the record of vertex positions. If you were to take a morph target obj and cut out all data except the v lines it would still function normally. Morphs aren't dependant on facet or normal or texture data.

In any case proprietary morphs can only be included in commercial items if said morphs are MR. For instance V4's shapes ++ morphs are proprietary morphs without the MR distinction. In that case it's possible to create a pose file that simply applies predetermined values to already existing dials. What is referred to as a dial spinner. There's a million such character presets for V4 available commercially, they state that "V4's Shapes++" is required by end user.

Poser's built in export morph injection makes things much easier now and you can pick and choose from a list of all the figures morphs which will be included in the inject pose.

While this makes things easier than it used to be in the past to create pmd injection files, it's still important that you don't inadvertently "bake down" proprietary morphs into your custom morphs, that is if said proprietary morphs are without the MR distinction.

Unless conscientiously creating morphs with MR and custom elements, intended for commercial or strictly personal use, use caution when baking down multiple morphs as to not include proprietary data.
