By means of summary so far...
Ten Questions For Hunter Gordon... Okay, So It's More Than Ten Questions
1. Do you have an idea of what the license fee schedule looks like, at this time? (Ron Vutpakdi)
2. Can you use material that purposefully diverges from the OTU at some point? (Sir Dameon Toth)
3. Will there be a standard format required for limited license products? If so, what are the details of that format? (Randy Tyler)
4. Can someone produce a concise, non-background version of a particular Traveller rules set under this license? If not, can one be produced by either Hunter or Marc to use as a set of guidelines, similar to the SRD, of what's considered non-OTU and game-mechanics related? (Casey)
5. What are your thoughts on a review panel, and how do you feel such would impact delivery schedules, etc.? (Various)
6. Will the buyers of this limited license be listed on the catalog page here like Ronin Arts and Loren K Wiseman are (once products are made available)? (Randy Tyler)
7. Will limited license holders have an independent way to upload their products to the catalog instead of relying on you to upload it for them? (Randy Tyler)
8. Is there any reason we couldn't have a license that lets us involve the OTU in approximately as much detail as the current Fair Use policy permits? (Kaladorn)
9. Are standard deck plan icons from the various deck plan supplements fair game? (Kaladorn)
10. Would an LBB-like feel (say convincing Berka to let me use the LBB book cover generator to produce a nice cover) be an infringement of anyone's designs/rights? (Kaladorn)
11. Supplements which offer alternate or extended rules - would that be acceptable? (Kaladorn)
12. Conjecturally, the author still holds copyright. Does this imply they can withdraw their permission to produce and distribute an item if they wish? (Kaladorn)
13. Doug Berry, in ACQ, published a half page table (half of an LBB page) that associated various task difficulties in various systems (T4, TNE, MT, CT, GT - I don't think T20 was in there but I forget). He didn't explain their systems, he didn't do much more than say 'they exist' and establish a mapping between task difficulty levels. This chart allowed him to then talk in terms of difficulty levels for all of his rules - and each GM could apply his own appropriate conversion. Would something like this be acceptable? I mean, do you need SJG's permission to publish a small chart that equates a Difficult Task to a particular difficulty under GT? If so, perhaps QLI or Marc should work with the various licensees and make this one half page chart 'public domain' and thereby usable as a reference by all Traveller authors. I mean, what it does do is really allow for generic game rules and for portability to other systems... and that should be good for *all* Traveller licensees. (Kaladorn)
14. What about material that I created and have placed on my website. Could this be repackaged or is it a first appearance here deal? (Antony)
15. What if I have used the dot maps for stellar positions, but all the UWP data is completely new? (This also assumes that all names are changed to protect the innocent, etc.) (Flynn)
16. Considering that, in T20, the alien racial data for character creation is OGC, does that mean that the races themselves (but not their history) are open for use and reference in these limited license products? (Flynn)
17. Is 2320AD considered an Alternate Traveller Universe or is it an Official Traveller Universe, expect specific for 2320AD? (Jeff M. Hopper)
18. Is Jump drive a part of OTU? (cweiskircher)
Hope this helps,
Flynn
