Hear, hear.
It's intellectual property. Reselling the plans after you've built the boat is no different than pirating/sharing software or other copyrighted material. Except that you're typically stealing from a little guy, not a big business.
But I'm sure Denise was looking for a set of plans that never got built. There ARE many of those around, where folks purchased them but never got around to building for whatever reason. My understanding in such cases is that the license is transferable. Craig's list, perhaps?
