http://mail.csua.berkeley.edu:8080/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI don't think
it's unreasonable to protect your IP.
 
It would be like me making models for Full Thrust and calling them class
names out of FB1 or for releasing a version of FT rules with all the
current books of rules put together and trying to sell it.
 
I'd be surprised if any IP owner lets people get away with that. They
could lose control over their IP very easily for simply not having
enforced their rights to it.
 
The poster who said they were a published musician and didn't mind fan
contributions might not like it if their musing ends up sound track to
something unpleasant or someone rewords the song to have opposite
meaning or it gets nominated as the theme song of the right wing
political party. Then let them scream.
 
I am grateful that Jon has a more flexible IP policy and that he hasn't
minded that my club got to rewrite our own set of the FT rules to make a
cohesive whole and as such got to enjoy the game a lot more.
