Restrictions

[NiTay614]

I have created a portrait from an artist's work. I have been given permission to use the pattern without any restrictions. I don't even need to associate it to him. I would like to share this pattern, but I would like the pattern not to be abused. Is there any way that I can personal place restrictions on the reproduction of this pattern.

You can always add restrictions on the pattern itself. Some people will put "For Personal Use Only" which usually indicates you're only allowed to cut one copy for yourself. No distributing the pattern and you can't sell the final cutting.

 

Just be clear about what people can and cannot do with the pattern. I'd also post the restrictions in the description field if you upload it to the Pattern Library.

 

Another way to control the pattern is to self-distribute it. Post in the New Pattern Announcements that you are making a pattern available. Give a quick description about the pattern. Those who are interested will say they'd like a copy. Then you can send it to them via PM or email.

Thank you for the advice.
