Sorry, and not looking to create hostility, but the whole point of my very long-winded post was that you the craftsman works out how to do something, you then do it and it is yours to do with as you wish. You can use your production for yourself, you can give it away, you can exchange it for something else, you can sell it.
Fear and misinformation are causing havoc now in a way that they most likely never have over the whole history of working with woven fabric.
The thing you cannot do is take the actual instructions for a 'pattern' or technique as written and copy them for distribution.
Feel free to work out a combination of shapes and then do with it as you see fit.
