GREED PURE AND SIMPLE
I said much the same thing on another thread about this. An example is a maker of cabinet hardware, knobs, etc. That would be like the knob maker claiming that you cannot make and sell furniture using their knobs or claiming a portion of the profits from selling said furniture. It's totally ridiculous for a designer to claim that you can't make and sell things from their patterns!!!
