I was just reading the link from Scissor Queen and found an article from an intellectual property lawyer saying that even if the author of a pattern states that you can't sell the quilts made from it, a court probably wouldn't uphold a case claiming infringement, BUT this has never been tested. It also says that a few sales on a low key level PROBABLY wouldn't be actionable but mass commercialisation WOUlD be. And that's a grey area surely? How would we draw a line between a few sales and mass commercialistion? Note all the 'probablies'! Here's the link to the specific article I'm talking about
