Part 2 - copyright infringement - LICENSED ANYTHING. The license is between the designer's manufacturer and the retailer. It is never, ever involves the end consumer. THAT's the law. Also, a license must have two parties execute it - sign it - agree to it or it does not hold up in court.
Can you buy licensed fabric, makes something and sell it? Sure - and you keep all the money, legally.
Can you digitally copy a university logo onto a craft item? NOOOOOOO. But you can affix a duly licensed logo applique to something and sell it and keep all the money, legally. You can also cut out the logo from fabric and fuse it to a craft, sell it and keep all the money. The university got its royalty cut - just one - at the time you purchased the fabric from a licensed retailer. CAUTION HERE: The universities have the right to protect themselves, so you MUST affix a label to the logo craft item which states, "Made by [your name/your company name], which has no affiliation whatsoever with the University of Whatszit. Logo copyright YYYY, University of Whatzit." This tells the consumer right off that any problems or liabilities arising from the item they bought with the logo is NOT the responsibility or liability of the University - it's the crafter's. That labelling law has been in effect for such craft items since 1997.
