Thanks for posting this, as Amy Butler was the first designer that I became aware of that was putting this statement on her fabrics. I am unsure, though, if she was the first. That being said, her FAQS distill the issue pretty well. If a crafter, manufacturer is using the Amy Butler NAME (or any designer's name/logo) to bring attention to the product, market the product, etc then that would be a violation. As a previous poster stated, my impression of those statements are against mass producers of products bearing their designs that are using the names, images, etc to drive and increase sales. JMO.
