I purchased a set of plans from the designer Fred Bates of Damariscotta (now deceased) years ago. I have not had much luck hunting his firm down. I am sure my rights do not include copying his plans for others. I was told he does have a son in Maine, who may have tried to negotiate with MIT regarding his Dad's work, so offspring is apparently aware of the value of his work, and may still be controlling rights, etc. I would be interested in what you learn. Best of luck in your pursuit.
