I tend to agree since the finished board contains nothing that would ID the 
design source unless that is a quirk in a corner turn that is unique, like 
the mistakes that are part of every map, and which the map maker than then 
take to court as proof of a copyright violation.  Since the only thing I've 
designed and built with eagle actually takes my milling machine most of a 
day to mechanically etch one double sided copy of, if my time was worth $10 
hour, I'd have to sell it for at least $70.  At that price, those who want 
to have one would probably get it quicker by grabbing the eagle files from 
my site in the sig, and sending out for boards.  But even then it would be 
incomplete because I had to add a small strip of extra board on one end of 
it to mount the adjustment pots for each opto units led brightness. 
 
Eagle-6.2 however, does work well IMO.
