I would love to know what you all think of this:
http://www.oliverands.com/boutique/. Oliver & S makes some lovely patterns for little kids' clothing. They're also selling licenses, for $6 each, to make ONE item from the pattern, that you can sell. (For your $6 you also get a nice label to sew into the garment.)
Now, if I were selling toddler dresses at a craft show, I would be hard pressed to be able to afford $6 to hand over to the pattern maker for each dress that I sell!
So, while I understand the concept at work here, that Oliver & S would like to get some money for each "derivative work" sold, is the amount they're asking practical? Personally, I love their designs, but I'd never buy one because of this issue. The licensing part is just ... off-putting.
What if you bought the pattern somewhere, and the seller did not inform you, prior to purchasing the pattern, that you could not use it to make items for sale?
Thoughts?
