ok. let's look at this issue from another perspective.

nobody is complaining about restrictions on anything other than the freedom to sell the items made from patterns.

people buy patterns because they are either unable or unwilling to create their own.

this is all about money and profit.

so ... the complaint here really boils down to anger because some folks want to plunk down a few lousy dollars for a pattern they couldn't or wouldn't create themselves and then enjoy unrestricted freedom to profit from somebody else's idea and process. an idea and process, i remind you once again, they were unable or unwilling to create themselves.

so ... who's greedy?
