[Woodcarver] copyright laws

[Marcia Berkall]

Good morning, Larry,

I want to thank you for asking about copyright issues.  It's a 
subject that a lot of people just are not aware of...also one that 
can be confusing.  Years ago "Wood" Magazine offered a pattern for a 
Santa.  Several issues later, because somebody asked about using that 
pattern to carve Santas for sale, the editors published a statement 
that went something like this, " If the pattern was one that was 
generated by the magazine itself, then copies could be made for 
sale.  If it was one submitted by a private individual, then 
permission from that individual was needed."  I believe after that it 
was clearly stated in the magazine which designs could be carved for sale.

You can never go wrong by asking.

Thanks..
