Copyright
As for any creative work, the notion of copyright applies to the work of teh designers of foldings. These rights apply to any part of teir creation:
- the design of a model,
- the diagrams, crease patterns, photo-diagrams or videos realized by the designer or his representative,
- the photographs when they are signed.

One cannot forget the derivative products which use all or part of the elements of a creation.

Some examples:
- of course, you can fold published models. You cannot sell your folding without the permission of the designer.
- of course, you can use a published diagram or crease pattern. You cannot sell or distribute it without the permission of their author.
- if you wish to teach a model, it is common courtesy to ask the designer for permission. It is mandatory if you will run a paying workshop.
