You are correct. It is forbidden by the Lyons Court for anyone even to have
a copy of someone else's "personally matriculated" coat of arms without
permission , But, if that person gives permission, someone else is allowed to
have it but in limited form.

They "may" be able to have a "picture or plaque" of the crest of arms in the
household, but could not "flaunt it" around, like wearing it as jewelry. But,
to sell some else's coat of arms is forbidden by the Lyons Court, for it is
considered "stolen."

and bearings in Scotland, By, James Balfour Paul, Lyon King of Arms.
