I just got a book a wall hangings which said "All finished items produced using this book are protected by Federal Copyright Laws and may not be reproduced for commercial use in any form whatsoever without the written consent of the Author." I emailed for permission to make wall hangings for a Xmas Bazaar and she granted permission for up to 25 wall hangings. How is she going to police this. I really didn't plan on making that many anyway. And if I change anything (which I probably will) it seems they are no longer copyrighted. Reading from some of the websites, it seems there is no copyright except for copying and selling the the pattern for profit!
