Hurm. If I were doing the Battle Bibles, I wouldn't
have even asked. GW's position is obvious - they're not going
to give permission for some random person to distribute the
whole of their rule sets for free. Why would you buy the
WH40k box set for $70 US, plus Dark Millenium for $35, plus a
codex of your choice for $20, plus random issues of WD at $5 a
pop for the occaisional rules clarification, if you could get
all the info contained inside those various products for free
from a simple download?
If the compilers of the BBs are skittish about
copyright issues, they shouldn't have started the project in
the first place.
Scott Shupe, obviously not skittish about copyright issues
