Quote - SamTherapy makes a model of a Dalek, the well known villain from the BBC tv show Doctor Who. In order to avoid getting sued, he does not call it a Dalek, does not offer it for sale (it's a freebie) and the readme explicitly states it is not to be used for commercial purposes at all, and also acknowledges the original creators and copyright owners of the Daleks.
None of the above, however, are proof against being sued. The fact of the matter is, I have copied someone else's intellectual property. Whether or not I call it something else, charge for it or give it away or whatever I do is besides the point. If BBC Worldwide and/or the estate of Terry Nation decide to sue me, they'd most likely win.
I'd worry more about being...EXTERMINATED!!! :lol:
