Just because you CAN do something doesn't make it legal to do so, and does not make it your own work.
Its no different then someone saying "I want to copy Poser for my freinds... how can I do this?", and someone replying it's illegal and it's protected by copyright, but then someone else [Pengy] popping in providing them methods on duplicating it and redistributing it, and THEN saying "But you really shouldn't do it."
Everything I mentioned is perfectly and 100% legal. Period. You simply cannot copyright a dial setting.
That said, if you do any of it, you deserve whatever pitchforks and flames you get for pulling such stunts.
It's part and parcel of the dangers of selling something, really - and in at least one case someone has already done it! (at least according to a certain locked thread in the copyrights forum).
Point is simple (and worth repeating): If you're going to sell it, protect it. There are lots of means by which you can do so, which I just mentioned in my previous post.
