I have noticed this on some of the designs from SewForumn. I just want to make sure that I am understanding this correctly as I do not want to do anything wrong. "Please do not give away, sell, or claim the digitized design as your own." It is just the design itself or are we not to put it on anything that we may decide to sell such as a bib etc? Thanks for your help.

If you look at the designs in DBC, the following appears with each design.
"Copyright: These design are protected by International & US Copyright Laws. The Design Files are licensed, not sold, to you. You have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use the Design Files.

It is very clearly stated. It is the design that you must not share, but you can give away or sell items you have used it on.

I know that is what they were meaning here - but I just wanted to make sure that I was interpretative what this digiziter meant since it wasn't from cuties. Sewforum has some digitizers that don't say anything, others that have the above statement, and then a couple that tells you that you can't even sell items that you make with their designs on them. Just wanted to make sure my thinking was going in the right direction. Thanks for you help.

Every digitizer is different in how they go about their designs. Some use clipart to create their designs. Some like myself create their designs from scratch. What this mean is you can sell or give away your stitchouts that you make as gifts. Just not the design formats themself. Because everytime a person give away a design format to another person that digitizer loses money on that design.I hope this helps.

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that it was the design itself they were talking about. One of the person says you can not sell items with her designs on it - but she DOES specifically spell that out.

I take it that they mean, do not share the design, but maybe direct people to the site.

Thank you. Do you add that on the for sale tag if you are doing it at a craft fair? I understand how you would do it if you were selling online.

This is only about the design itself.
