Boy, I am glad to hear this. I always thought that it was outrageous that they could tell us what can do with our work after it has finished.
One pattern designer--not quilt patterns--but something else....she used to have such a nasty tone on her website about the copy right....I will never buy another of her patterns. On her website she has really toned it down but still says we cannot sell products we make from her patterns. She sure left a nasty taste in my mouth. It was not even the restrictions...it was her tone. And it was not just me...several other mentioned it which is why I went and looked.
I totally agree that they have the right to expect us not to copy their patterns...that is their work and livelyhood. I just do not think they have the right to tell us what we can do with what we make from the pattern. Not that I ever sell anything anyway.
