thanks for the link! Very interesting. I also looked up "federal copyright laws" and read some of it( who can understand "legal ease"). My limited understanding of all of this info is that the PATTERN is copyrighted, PATTERN can not be copied for resale, not valid if "distinguishable variation" of original pattern, can not copyright "common names" ie COKE or basic patterns ie: bowtuck ( has now become name for certain style ), not valid if not know (not printed). I now think that designers just put such statements such as " only for person use or charitable contribution" to scare you into into not making item for sale/profit.
