Very interesting. I'm not sure I fully understand the unwritten constitution implication yet. I'll have to think on that
But does this mean that somehow, our heritage trumps ownership of design by corporations and even private ownership? In my opinion, no. For example:
Ford Motor Cars owns the Model T rights. It's a very historic thing in it's own right, the Model T
I still need to take certain steps in order to legally use it's design for a commercial application, correct?
But Ford will lose no history, no heritage, and no direct money if I do this without their permission. Yet I still can't just do anything I want with anything concerning the Model T, commercially. How can Ford lose money? What, am I selling the design to Audi?
