A big cheese ready for door stopping! Found on Thingiverse by mpv4gb.
Hey, I know the guy who made that. Because it was me.
EDIT: Upon closer inspection it appears to be mpv4gb’s similar cheese wedge http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:151372 . Yow that CC license it’s listed under means you’re supposed to give credit. Just sayin;.
I had always heard that Cheese could bind…
Thanks for the share! In one of my other lives I used (and lose) a lot of door stops on VT shoots. Something custom with my logo should be easy to knock up in FreeCAD.
@Joseph_Larson Thank you for the correction.
@Joseph_Larson While it’s customary and respectful to attribute the finished object, that isn’t what the license covers. The license covers the distribution of the file and derivative files. It’s a copyright for the file and that has no bearing on any prints made from the file.
It does look cool though…
@dstevens_lv There’s some question about that. After all isn’t it a print a derivative of the file? Or possibly a different format for distribution? Both of which are covered license. It’s a question that hasn’t been answered in court yet. I think it’s better to be safe than sorry. And besides it’s polite and would have cleared up a lot of confusion in this case.
@Joseph_Larson I do agree that regardless of any sort of license it shows respect to mention the originator. That’s just the polite thing to do.
There isn’t a question, it’s well established case law that copyright doesn’t cover functional physical objects. In this case a doorstop. I suppose you could claim your cheese was art but that’s going to be pretty difficult for you to prove. You couldn’t tell if it was yours or not by looking at it the first time but felt compelled to call them out anyway, in spite of the fact it wasn’t your design.
