Understood, and agreed.  But, who makes that distinction between "copy" and
"development"?  As I said, there technically is no such thing as a copy...no
two physical things are %100 identical.  Even if one of the milling machines
used has a better tolerance, that is technically an improvement, and
therefore could possibly not be considered a "copy".  Changing material, for
say the mount, could also make it not a "copy".

Unfortunate that semantics is(are ;-)...

Regards,

Austin
