OK, now I'm really confused--First of all, Ron, I think you meant Laura's opinion and not Layla's. For the life of me I can't see the logic of a higher ground as a safety precaution against the possibility of dissenting copyright owners... What does that even mean? It's an origami model, not state secrets. I buy a book of someone's model or models. I learn and fold said model(s). I like the model and want to share it with my fellow folders. Why, (other than being polite) must I ask permission to teach it to someone else at a convention? The concept boggles the mind. I just don't get it.
