Looks like we are on the verge of a brave new world in woodworking

If this becomes a trend, all those gloats about getting that Unisaw in
the future will be replaced by a guilty-faced backwards glance hoping
that Delta doesn't find out you violated your Unisaw licensing agreement
by letting a close friend use your saw to build a piece of furniture for
his own use.
I know the argument being used by the Stots template master is that
this is a "self-replicating" template. However, if you follow some of
the links on the above web page, you will also find that LexMark is
making the claim that you violate their "licensing" agreement for the
printer you buy from them if you don't buy their ink.

What?? A tablesaw without its own IP address? How can you possibly
cut modern wood with something so outmoded?

I cancelled my post about a millisecond after sending, but not quick
enough I guess. I figured I should read it before posting, oh well.

If you follow the link I provided, it apparently was not. I believe
the issue is being appealed, so it may yet [hopefully] be shot down. If
it is not, this has some significant implications and sets a scary
precedent.

If you start making some serious money selling something and you have
their product in your shop, then it's litigation time.
