Most books have some king of caveat or notice as to how many copies 
of a pattern may be made "for personal use".  Technically, once you 
reproduce that pattern for use in a class or in any situation that 
involves making a profit from them, it does constitute a violation.

Jan, how fast can you run?  :)
