Modular Synth Panels

this is uncalled for. The designer made royalties from "limited run" pcb sales. Parts kits were sold separately by a different end user with no mention of royalties. there is no trademark on the KLEE name also unless I am missing something? Panels sales = more pcb sales right? No one else has done or requested this. Kind of bogus.

The panel is my layout, and I expect no royalties. Scott Deyo is not making kits or assembled units. He is only selling metalwork. IMHO leave the names Klee and e-m off and just put "sequencer" on the panel. You go and try to give someone props by buying and building a nice unit with the named of the designer, website and this is what happens? I hope there has been some misunderstanding. I know times are tough but this is nutso. 

Has anyone else been asked for royalties before like this? It's kind of like synth_diy*** with the *** meaning see the small print for the extra fees. Where does the royalty request come from directly?

Man, I hope this all gets worked out somehow...
