Good point. And I think that a lot of patterns (most, even) are not all that new and that with a pattern you're paying for directions and suggestions and math. Which is why I don't buy them anymore because I have to figure it all out to check for errors, anyway.
But I can't see how most of the Holt stuff is even able to be copyrighted. People have made circular flowers and pieced tulips for a long time. I see it as inspiration, rather than originality.
