I am hoping to get a straight answer and hope I don't sound like a nut! First this is not about commercial logos such as sports teams or products logos. I know we make and use these logos on our own risk.
Ok that said my question is the ptns I make and share can anyone else take that pattern and in the pattern editor make changes? I know the patterns I have downloaded I can not.
So saying they can not be edited, I see the concerns to post any pattern for free that is in the vendor store. But what about other vendors making the same or similar pattern and selling it in their store?
Again my example is the Last Supper if you look in past pattern shared it has been posted for free and I know for a fact 2 or more vendors offer the pattern at different cost.
So I guess I am asking is why can't the member make the choice to what pattern they want? If it is a free pattern or a purchased one? When I go to the department store and I am looking for a computer I have my choice of several brands for the same item. If a person offers a computer for free in front of the store that is not as good does that mean it is wrong?
I know I am comparing apples to oranges, but the concept is the same. With all the resources and the software a person can use the same logo and software and come up with the same pattern. That said, then one person may sell it and the other shares it. Both people made the pattern and did not copy from another pattern. Then both pattern shouldn't be able to be edited by anybody? The exception is a pattern hand made into a ptn. I believe Vector Art 3D artists design all their patterns. I am sure others do as well, I am asking about the patterns that are made from images that are available to everybody.
Or is somebody taking the pattern image and making a pattern from the image? I have made patterns inspired from other patterns I have seen without using their image/ptn. I have made them using a j-peg I found on the net and I have used them for my personal use. I have a sign frame I made using a branch HT made for me and he has it for sell. If he wanted to make that frame and sell it, I would not care!
A long way to ask if you can share a pattern you made even if it is offered in the pattern store? If not then what about the patterns in the store that are same pattern offered by the member who made them? Does it go back to our choice and choose the pattern we like the best? If so then can I/we who makes patterns post and share ptns that are offered in the vendor store?
I know we can post any patterns in a mpc that have been sold. Again I ask even if it is posted in a mpc wouldn't the pattern appear in red or can it be used by others?
