I figure once its purchased its yours to do what you want..I don't read the selvedge other than to make sure the color code is there But from now on I will make sure to not buy any CFs and to let the store know why.
What you heard is different than what they are discussing here. The fabric with team logos is licensed so you are not supposed to buy it...make something...and then sell to make a profit. I think I told the story on the other board about the woman that owned a conignment shop. I had my candles and soap in her shop and she told me that they went to a college football game with all of the stuff her husband made that had the home team's logo on it. They set up their trailer in the tailgating parking lot. They were approached by 2 men and told to either pack it all up...and if they did not then they would pack it for them and then they would be "escorted" out of the parking lot. With hand poured candles...certain names of scents are trademarked. The fragrance oil supplier can sell it to you with the trademarked name on their bottle but...if you pour candles to sell and use the trademarked name...Yankee has a LOT of their scents trademarked...you might get a cease and desist letter from them since there are "spies" at craft shows. But...you won't get arrested...lol. But if you continue using something that is trademarked or licensed after being warned...you CAN get in trouble.
