Personally, as a mostly-roleplayer rather than dedicated wargamer,
I'm more interested in 25mm since it's the scale that works best
for RPG miniatures. I can justify time spent painting them for using
them when running an RPG, even though I may only wargame with them
once a year.
I have some 6mm, but buying anything in 15mm just isn't going to
happen (I don't have the time to paint yet another scale of figures).
I'd prefer any rules which used based groups of figures to be
compatible with 6mm as well as 15mm. Regardless though, I'd probably
buy any rules you bring out, since they don't need painting.

Do you really mean public domain? Would I be free to take those rules,
build a game around it, and publish it under, say, a GPL license?
If not, then it's not public domain.
