Saw my Design in a Commercial Product

[Normnet]

I went back and looked at the documentation I provided with
the project, and indeed, it is only 365 byte text file with no terms at all!!
So there is no actual breach of anything.

If there was, I'd at least have some fun with them on eBay.

I'm a little curious. Would a link be objectionable?

I'd rather not.
It would be a different story if the project had any licencing terms.

It's probably a good thing to put in my resume when I think about it.
I've never had a design for commercial production before... but now I have

What about the silkscreen? I always put my name/date/etc.

If you did, order one and use paypal. Then take pics of everything and send to ebay and paypal. You get reimbursed and he gets delisted.

Ebay might even help you know how many he sold. If he used paypal, they might transfer all those funds to you.

Good luck.

A while back someone else had their posted code turned into a commercial product.
I think it was a UV strength meter by Melanie however I can't seem to find it right now.

Hi Robert.

No, they took out the name and it is direct sell from their company. Not on Ebay. Legally I could do something but the time and money it will take, does not worth it.

It is funny, that they copied even the software as is, and never cared to change the keys of the Keeloq from the remotes and receiver! It works just fine with my keys!!!

Count yourself lucky - I designed/built a 'walkman' type cassette player TWO YEARS before they became mainstream........

Two years before it went into production,
to produce a portable one.. that does sound very impressive,
but that was bound to happen.
They were going to be produced whether you existed on this Earth or not.
Even at that stage, solid state music players were going to exist,
no matter how they came about.
