As a new scroller, I am still learning the ropes. I have used some of the patterns on this site, and on Steve Good's site, including making desk name plaques. I have NOT sold any of these items, I am just honing my skills on them. What is the proper procedure for this? I am not claiming any of these patterns as my own, and everyone knows this. Should I be somehow be inscribing the pattern makers name on everything I make? I don't even put my name on them, they are being made for fun and not profit.
I have played around with the GIMP tutorials and would hopefully like to make patterns. I can certainly understand a "RANT" if I were to spend the time and effort to make a pattern and then discover that someone is selling my pattern.
I join the others on this forum that there is no offence taken to expressing one's concerns and frustrations over this type of issue. I would consider this a type of copywrite infringement.
