John,
Trust me, there's no worry about anyone copying the design of the Vanaru
subaru conversion.  All those parts involved are out there to purchase at a
fair price for those who want to try their hand at it.
There are other issues at play right now, but all the information on that
page and more will be back up in the future, bigger and better and uncut!
