seeing most of the answer on this post makes me really lose hope in humanity, ffs peoples this is not a group buy yet, it is someone playing with an idea and sharing it, so what if it is rough, OP may not have hours and hundreds to sink into a doomed projects, so he checks for interest before hand, and with that kind of reception i would not blame him for never trying to get into this community again...
although yeah it would be nice to ask the creators of Evil-Dolch and 8008 for permission before running the set, although i also think there is a lot of over reaction of similar colors... if the colors are not the same then why bother saying it is a copy, it is not...
IC nowadays are expected to be finished and announcing a group buy, they never were meant to work that way.
