[sdiy] Re: Doepfer A-105 looks like Oakley Multiladder?

[Tony Allgood]

Hi all,

Firstly thanks for all the support guys.

But I already know there is no real protection on my circuits, or any
one else's for that matter... only the schematic itself is copyrighted.
There is no legal protection to circuits, unless you have a patent.

I had expected this to happen one day, but oddly enough, not from
Doepfur.

And I am not angry. I am just bewildered why a fellow small scale
modular builder couldn't even be bothered to say "thanks Tony, that's a
nice idea, do you mind if I use it?". But although, there seems to be
nice friendly relationship between the internet based synth builders,
Doepfer seems to want to just steal. This is the sad fact.

However, it is the way of the world and it really shouldn't have come as
a suprise.
