I read the article,don't really know the author's work, but am a bit confused...or maybe my comprehension is way off. But I got out of that article, that if you " copy" one of her designs, you must first ask permission to do so and then affix a label on the piece you have "copied" stating the origination/designer. But if it "inspires" you, just ask permission? So why would I want to even look at her work if it is so restrictive. Or is this the case with all patterns being sold or offered in books and magazines?
