Steve has a regular full time job and tries to have a personal life. Add to that his heavy workload in taking care of his blog, making patterns and videos, answering e-mail.
Unfortunately that does not leave him a lot of time to visit the forum and answer questions here. You might get a faster response e-mailing him at steve@stevedgood.com..
If you are talking about one of his patterns on his blog, those are all free for you to use.
