That clip art is provided for you to use in your designs, (that you may sell to a customer even) but not to provide it to a second party who has not paid for the rights to use it in HIS design that he may end up selling.
If you are not talking about their clip art that they ship with Coreldraw.... then what does Corel Corp even have to do with it? They couldn't care less if you are designing Carvewright patterns, signs, logos, pink panties or nuclear bombs with their software... that's your business... the copyright issue has to do with the person who holds the rights to whatever image was used to make a pattern, not the software used to do the graphics work.
Me personally, I really really don't care and don't think it was a big deal. I sure wasn't suggesting that you remove all your patterns.
I was simply trying to explain how the Corel Corps licensing works and how LHR will be the ones held liable if a company ever complains about copyright violation.
