You may well make something based on the circuit, with no intention of sale let alone profit; but when your estate is liquidated, will there be a copyright warning? I'm not even sure that you need to resell an item if the court can be satisfied that you intended to avoid paying for the published item. A quick check on whether the item is still in copyright might relieve your soul ...

Should you get an HT SMPS to work, then you will face the dilemma of publishing or making design and performance details freely available.

Why would we have trouble making details freely available?
