The same as doing it with software. You own the rights (in my case) to make
unlimited copies for personal use. You can sell the instructions (with or
without the bricks) but if you do so, you must destroy all copies in your
possession or transfer them to the new owner(singular, not multiple). I don't
_think_ other people would buy multi copies of a set that I design, unless I
can beat the Lego price point. In the case of my smaller train sets, as it now
stands, I _do_ beat the lego price point for the pieces contained in the sets.
(it is 14.99 USD for the replacement for the coupler/wheels packs...and there
is more than $5 worth of other parts in either of my small kits)
