Loom instructions are different than knitting needle instructions in the fact that on a loom you are always working on the right side of the product. On knitting needles you work on the front and the back. So if an instruction on needles for the wrong side is knit you must convert those instruction to purl instructions for a loom.
Does any of this make sense???

I do not know the legal situation here but I should have thought it is the pattern which is copyright not how you produce it.
Being a machine knitter for example I might use a pattern written by Toyota for their machines. If I convert the pattern for use on my Brother knitting machine the copyright still belongs to Toyota.
In my opinion, just working a pattern on a loom instead of on needles does not qualify as original intellectual materials. However, if your loom design was “inspired” by a design scaled for needles that you had to work out completely, with a new gauge, you could probably sell the design if you give credit to the person who designed the original.
P.S. If you work “in the round” on needles–circular or double-pointed–you’ll see only the one side, usually the right side.
