Thanks Kevin. Really the only form of rip off I would be worried about would
be having commercial companies use my designs in products. I've heard bad
stories about companies like Doepfer in that regard. I would like to make
sure that anyone can build their own modular sequencer from the tools we
present, and encourage others to port the tools to other languages
 preferably public domain ones though! ) but still have a legal leg to stand
on if suddenly there is a new hardware synth on the market that works an
awful lot like mine!

All advice appreciated, thanks.
Iain
