Hi everyone - to prolong the discussion only a bit more:

No, you are using the pricking for its intended use - a derivation would
be altering the pricking, or taking elements of the original lace and
constructing another pricking, and calling that 'original'
(which, in conventional
lace terms, I think we call 'adapted' - of no real consequence
unless someone tries to profit by this adapted version)

Anybody can sue anyone for any thing (at any time) - if there is to be a
case, it would depend on intent (and $).
Apart from that, let's continue to share our lace accomplishments with
pride, in our lace mags. and newsletters, and at our websites - credit the
designer where known, or specify if it isn't an original design ("unknown
source" seems to cover a lot - then if someone recognizes it they can
tell you the source..).
bye for now
