Not at all.  Most of my "design" is the concept for the board and maybe some
layout details.  The circuit is mostly hooking a PIC to a power supply,
RS-232 interface, and LEDs.  In any case, I've already posted it publicly
without restrictions.  The final schematic for the board, notes on how to
modify it for various purposes, a parts list, board drawing, and parts index
will all be available on the web site without restriction.

I wouldn't be please if someone copied the whole board as is, but there is
probably little I could do about it.
