The book Bear mountain puts out about building canoes says that their plans are protected. However I was able to reach out to them and discovered that the royalty fee is only $40. Very reasonable.
I'm looking to build a cedar strip canoe and want to maybe turn it into a small side business. When I look for plans at places like Bear Mountain Boats, I see lots of warnings that say the plans are copy-writed and that it's illegal to sell a canoe built using their plans. Does anyone know how...
