If you put yourself out there to teach a technique, sell a tutorial, or a pattern I feel you are automatically giving permission for the student/buyer to create the pieces with the possibility of selling the creation. Most people put their own spin on the outcome whether it be changing colors or their own creativity that it would be hard to say they are violating some agreement. I was denied a place in a class to learn looming techniques from an instructor because she found out that I teach the same. She was so paranoid that I was going to teach her techniques or patterns. BUT she turns around and sells her patterns thru the bead shop that was offering the class or posts them on her OPEN facebook page. WHAT? You want to keep something proprietary - don't put it out there on YouTube, Facebook, classes, tutorials, etc.
