Hello, and thanks for asking. Like Daz or Reallusion, FaceGen meshes and color maps are copyrighted and cannot be freely distributed.
This is to prevent obvious abuse, which happens frequently. We recognize that are legitimate use cases: 1. Images rendered using FaceGen meshes & color maps are yours to do as you wish, per our license. 2. If you're only using FaceGen as a guideline, and you rebuild your own mesh topology and paint your own color map, you can distribute freely as this is not a copyright violation. 3. If you only need to distribute a FaceGen mesh (modified or otherwise) to a customer who will be rendering images, then as long as their organisation owns a copy of FaceGen Modeller, no problem. 4. If you need to distribute a FaceGen mesh to many people, for example as part of a software product, then you need to purchase our re-distribution license (via Modeller Enterprise). Copyright issues to do with source photos are between you and the source photo copyright holder. If you remove the detail texture there should be no copyright claim since the image was not directly copied, merely compared.
