Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] Printing of replica of PCB on paper

Sudipta,

Let me suggest a simple way to think about this.

Say you developed a PCB layout at great expense and effort. I paid for a
copy and you sent it to me. I had trouble printing it out after downloading
but then fixed the problem. Then I printed out the repaired artwork which is
identical to what you first sold me. How would you feel about me making
copies and selling them without your permission?

Rick

Hi Rick!
Thanks for the link. However, the design was paid for by me and it was
emailed to me. The size went haywire on printing after downloading.
