Solved: Quick Daz copyright overview

paulawp (marahzen)

I know there's been multiple threads over the years on the subject of ownership and usage of Daz material indicating that we can use 2D Daz art we created as we want, but I just wanted a quick, current confirmation. I'm thinking of submitting a piece of art I created with Daz and Daz assets for possible usage at a company event (eg, on T shirts, graphic banners, advertisement), and they, reasonably, stipulate that anyone submitting art that uses non-company resources be able to demonstrate that the art can be legally used for the purpose. Can someone point to the exact part in the Daz user license agreement showing that a 2D image created with Daz and Daz assets can be used that way? I'm not selling it, but it's a big company that's very sensitive to copyright law. Thanks!

You can find the Licensing Agreement here. And this is the portion that covers 2D works:
