I am not an expert in patent law, but is legal to patent something that's already posted and shared under a Non Commercial license?LePaul wrote:Yes but a certain someone will try to copy and patent it. And he isn't from China
I don't think anyone would patent anything. It could be a Makerbot mistakeivan.akapulko wrote:I am not an expert in patent law, but is legal to patent something that's already posted and shared under a Non Commercial license?LePaul wrote:Yes but a certain someone will try to copy and patent it.

Regarding patents, things that have been published generally can not be patent protected later on.LePaul wrote:Yes but a certain someone will try to copy and patent it. And he isn't from China
Carl has certainly been pushing things when it comes to Creative Commons licensing.Neotko wrote: Anyhow is an interesting question. For example to what point 3dsolex selling steel couplers or tfm couplers is legal since the design is based on the original um2 files?
In fact, I was not aware at the time when I designed the Olsson block that that the STEP-files were public, so I measured up and made my own drawings of all componentsNeotko wrote:Also to what point selling an olsson is legal since is based on fitting the design on um files (I bet that at some point anders used the UM step files to fit it).
So, to what extent is ok to use open source stuff and sell stuff with it? Specially since Anders and Carl never shared their files (UM posted the olsson block step files when he did publish the um2plus bom).
Interesting that a STEP-file of the Olsson block has been published, I was just wondering if they did that the other day but forgot to checkNeotko wrote:So, to what extent is ok to use open source stuff and sell stuff with it?

Ultiarjan posted a first basic print test. Basically it doesn't seem to be more than a easy mod. Anyhow shiny and red for looks.
