What Wright Brothers Say.
"Any amateur, any professional who is not exhibiting
for money, is at liberty to use our patented devices.
We shall be glad to have them do so, and there will be
no interference on our part, by legal action, or otherwise.
The only men we proceed against are those who, without
our permission, without even asking our consent,
coolly appropriate the results of our labors and use them
for the purpose of making money. Curtiss, Delagrange,
Voisin, and all the rest of them who have used our
devices have done so in money-making exhibitions. So
long as there is any money to be made by the use of the
products of our brains, we propose to have it ourselves.
It is the only way in which we can get any return for
the years of patient work we have given to the problem
of aviation. On the other hand, any man who wants
to use these devices for the purpose of pleasure, or the
advancement of science, is welcome to do so, without
money and without price. This is fair enough, is it not?"
