 i think people have the right to use any ideas or information however they want. 

but to copy a creation for profit and then cry victim when called out is distasteful.

 I agree. Distasteful is a nice way to call it.

 From my reading it wasn’t done for profit at all. However if profit was the primary motive then it would be open free market competition right?.. albeit in the category of “cheaper knock-off”

As an owner of a blockclock, i 🧡 it. As a tinkerer I love the ability to buy a kit and use it as a learning tool to extend my skills .. but i personally wouldn’t equate the two even if they’re functionally similar

 watches
shoes
cars
guitars
boats
airplanes

imagine if there was no competition in any of these creations. 

imagine if everyone had to drive a fucking American made Chevy.

 to disrespect the work in that way demonstrates a complete lack of understanding for the work itself.

 If the motive is to copy a product and sell for profit, that is "counterfeiting " .  It is illegal any place that has intellectual property rights.
