this doesn't sit right with me.  do you have permission to copy and improve

chassis
stiffener went into r&d, and it's perfectly reasonable to expect whoever
designed it to recoup their costs.

Now here's my .02:

Unless a design is patented there is no reason not to back engineer a
product or do your own research and make it for yourself or others.  That's
what competition is all about.  If an inventor wants to protect his rights
to an invention, he needs to patent it.
