Really what we are talking about here is etiquette. Either individuals will display it or they will not. Most choose to, such as, not posting gut shots of Pro-modded modules. I think for the most part most people on this form are standup members who will do the right thing most of the time. Now on to the issues:Copy - I don't see a need to do it even for experience. Understand the science and do mods based on that knowledge. Will there be some overlap (similar components/switches/values/etc) sure but it should not be an identicle copy.Possession - 9/10ths of the law, so I am told. If I own something I can do as I please with it, even if that means modding it further or making a copy (although I revert to my original comment/opinion on copying).Trademarks/Branding - You should never sell your own work with the brand of someone else. In my opinion this includes self modding a Pro-modded module. If you add a tweak to someone elses work, then it is not their original work anymore & should not carry their name for obvious reasons. It puts their brand/name reputation at risk. I believe this applies to self modding Randall or Egnater modules as well. If you mod it then do as the Pro-modders do & get a custom faceplate made for it that doesn't have the Randall or Egnater brand on it.
