    Hello...

    See http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/2712/sort/1/cat/500/page/1 ...

    Now here we are again up against the old arguement of intellectual property and its inherent lack of legal definintion or re-definition after Ford ripped off Benz....

    I download a Diogene drawing and modify it to a personal vision of a small O/B powered commuter I have had in the back of head for some time - OK, initially I did not credit or provide a link to Diogene Marine - that was bad, and I have slapped my wrists - I thought it assumed...

    The arguement goes much further though - anyone can do what I have done - do I need to credit the graphic designer Paul Saloman who created the original proposal for the P40 Warhawk paint in my little doodle of a Diogene redraw - the world will come to a halt - perhaps we need an entire government division devoted to intellectual property - so the rest of us can just SHARE IDEAS AS PEOPLE DO...

    Anyway I am going sailing...

    Right...

    SH.

    Sean, do what you like. Just credit the original idea or basis for your redesign. That's all. NO outright copying, though.
