Hi all,
I've been trying to work out what (if any) license the NetEpic rules
are released under. Since there seems to be no mention of a specific
copyright license, by default it falls under the standard (and most
restrictive) Copyright terms. Technically, it would be a breach of
copyright for me to email the rules to a friend, or give her a print-out!
Would it be possible to release the rules under a Creative Commons
(
http://creativecommons.org/) license? They have a suite of
distribution licenses that allow users to modify and redistribute,
under specific terms (attribution of the original author, no
commerical use, etc) that would give users more freedom, and encourage
more active involvement and feedback from the community (for example,
the rules could be Wikified so that users can make corrections, fix
typos, and add their own contributions), as well as maintain
compliance with Games Workshop's own IP policy.
There's a simple wizard to select the best license for your work at
http://creativecommons.org/license/. I recommend it to you.
Many thanks,
Gavin.
