 | | Question about copyright on Lego logos —James Wilson
|
| | | First off, let me get this clear: I do not intend to sell my creation. What I want to do is take a Lego logo from a set (I'm being intentionally evasive here...), such as the Blacktron logo, and duplicate it as best I can. Then I want to put it on a (...)
