He can make his own version of the blue print to sell, but your
original license still applies to the underlying blueprint.  His
copyright only applies to the expressive work which he has added.

And it's fine if he sells it, endorsed by a celeb, surrounded by
sycophants or not.  What everyone is buying into is the same barn that
you wanted them to buy into in the first place.  The corporate barn
builder is doing exactly what you want him to do.
