Subject: [motm] Is this legal?

From: elhardt@...
Date: 2002-10-20

I was milling through the Analog Heaven archives and noticed these recent
Modcan modules made by a 3rd party (Cynthia Webster) located here:

http://www.microtonalsynthesis.com/~cynthia/modules.php

Assuming this is not a hoax, is it legal to grab a bunch of other people's
designs and manufacture your own modules for sale? I'm seeing Encore's UEG
here, Blacet, Ken Stone designs, MOTM/Korg triple resonator, etc. She does give
credit to those people. Maybe she coincidently got everybody's permission (and
schematics) at the same time. It seems odd. If it's legitimate I hope all goes
well for her. It's nice to know these modules are out there (if not a hoax)
should I ever end up with any Modcan stuff in the future.
