Hi,
Yet another question from me! <g>
I keep modifying patterns from books, and I'm confused about the copyright
status... Here are some examples of what I'm confused about at the moment. If
there are some general rules, by all means just tell me those instead of
commenting on the examples...
If I take an edging pattern I found in a book, and make a bookmark pattern that
basically
consists of two pieces of that edging, with some changes, is that an adaptation
of the pattern, or what is it called? And can I put the pricking on my website?
What if I made my pricking by scanning the book pattern and making changes with
a graphics program? And what if I drew it by myself without any scanning?
Also, are all designs in books automatically copyright? For example, in the
Milanese books by Read and Kincaid there are lots of Milanese braid designs - I
guess I don't really know, but I was assuming that they didn't personally design
all the braids, but that some of them were just traditional Milanese braids.
Can I use these braids in my patterns (including "patterns" that are just a
straight piece of braid for a bookmark <g>) without copyright infringement? If
I draw diagrams by myself, can I put them on my webpage?
