Yep, naive on my part. I would counter that if I had just published my
designs online with a commercial license, I doubt it would have made a
difference :-) Anymore, it seems people assume that if the files exist,
it's OK to copy and produce.
It seems witholding some of the files/designs and/or sharing with a
trusted source who has permission to open source or otherwise publish it
after you are no longer interested in the thing is the only way to
accomplish my goal, at the expense of people who'd like to peruse the
internals for personal value or fix one.
