I see other people selling places without paying for the right to do so like I did.
You actually don't need permission to sell things made from any pattern. No matter what the designers think or try to tell you.
What about when it says on the pattern itself that you can't? I'm really curious about this.
It doesn't matter what it says on the pattern. They do not have the right to say what you can or can't do with items you have made.
This link has a lot of links to actual court cases and court rulings.

Excellent post and good responses. I want to give it more time later when I don't have houseguest on their way. Thank you for this link. I will enjoy it when I can spend some time with it. This topic is one I want to understand and it seems there are many translations.
