Perhaps a little history is in order (to the best of my memory).

There was a contest put on by Festool (not Festool USA) and Timothy's MFTC was his entry and he was the grand prize winner. 

I am uncertain if he had immediately offered his plans for sale or when, but surely he would not have done so if there was some sort of agreement with Festool.  Likewise, if he was no longer allowed to continue to sell his product he would have continued to do so and would have explained.

Previously when questions came up he explained that he was from a family that was in the agriculture industry and he now had to devote his time to his family's farming operations.  Based on the videos he posted or linked to and the size of the equipment being used it is a larger operation and morphing to meet today's expectations.

Here is a link to the blog on his website explaining:  https://benchworks.be/en/news/i-quit-woodworking/

Would folks be interested in working up an opensource version of this design?

Alternately, in what way does the MW 1000 Mobile Workshop not work as an alternative?

First, Welcome to the Forum.

I sincerely doubt that anyone will sell you the plans whereas that would be a violation of copyright laws.

Thank you Peter!

Before I asked on the forum for the drawings I had checked in my country at the national institute for the protection of intellectual property and I didn’t find any official registered rights or drawings, neither under his name nor the brand nor the company.

Therefore I think there is no infringement to get them for private use.

If anyone has other ideas I'm interested to know.

Otherwise I’ll have to reinvented the wheel 

Cheers.

My MFTC plans say:

"These plans are for personal use, do not distribute, sell or share these with others.

Copyright @benchworks2013".

I thought resale laws generally trump copyright laws, as in if you purchased the property outright as opposed to leasing it, you own the copy you have and can on sell it legally so long as you don't also retain a copy, and all original source material is part of the sale.

Same as books, I can't legally photocopy the book I just bought and sell those copies, but I can certainly sell the book I bought.

This is a digital good.  One could not adequately prove the destruction of the original to the degree necessary to satisfy the requirement.

That said, I also don't believe that this is really a debatable point on these forums. 

I have to believe that Festool USA, the owner of this site, would actively discourage anything that even remotely appeared to be tangentially related to a potential copyright violation or the resale or transfer of copyrighted digital goods.

What a fun build this is! Hats off to Tim
