I've used some of his VTOL models, and I think he'd be right to share what he has, but he doesn't have to. We do have copyright (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| <CLAPPING> Beautiful, nicely worded James! I let James use my models, because he has the decency to first ask me before he does anything, if he could actually USE my model. Then, when he put it on his wonderfully organized and cool website, he (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Somehow I doubt that copyright laws apply in this instance. This isn't a case of someone stealing an idea and making money from it. This is a case of someone wanting to use someone else's design for their own enjoyment. I agree that you should (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

My black hopper, currently available at my brickbay site ( <grin> ), has been reverse engineered in the past. I'm not particularly (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
