I am very public with everyone I meet on this topic -- I WANT everything I
develop to be used by others to become wealthy, in exchange for
attribution when my ideas are used. Anyone who steps over that line has
taken from me that which was not given -- in short, they are thieves.

We all learn from each other. Developing one's own voice is one thing.
Repackaging someone else's creation without attribution is something else
entirely.

p.s. Visit my web site. Use whatever is there as often as you like. Get
really, really wealthy from it. Just tell people where you got it.
