The Fair Use Policy

[MongooseMatt]

Hi guys,

Okay, just had a very long conversation with Marc, as we try to hammer out what is best for Traveller and best for its fans. We do have a working plan, but it is going to take a short while setting it to words. However, if we can find the language to do everything we want to do, then you might well end up getting something a great deal more than you expected

Stay tuned. . .

sounds intriguing...!

 

[Dyrewulf]

Yes...very, and Matt, what ever grandiose project you boys at Mongoose have in store for Traveller, make sure you get yourself a dang copy of the book!

 

[rust]

Ah, I really like messages like that one ...

 

[EDG]

though I notice the original Fair Use thread has disappeared, which means that in the meantime nobody has a reference for the blurb they need to put on their websites etc... given that, I take it by "short while" you mean within 24 hours?

I must admit, I am very interested in hearing what you have to share.

Maybe a weekend. No cease & desists will be sent out in the meantime (well, not unless you do something _really_ stupid ).

I put a copy in the Traveller Wiki to be compliant with the (then) current fan policy.

Oh dear. I know all about those little tan pills (Clonazepam 0.5 mg). Very powerful. Very addictive.

 

[Rikki Tikki Traveller]

A Hiver on Clonazepam! Now that would be fun to see...

I wonder if the drug companies ever did studies on Starfish to see what happened to them!?!?!

How do you know he was not just having a "Freudian Slip" moment? :wink:

I do not see the connection with Sigmund Freud's underwear ? :?

 

[Klaus Kipling]

Yeah, he was talking about getting oiled up on COTI. :lol:

It wouldn't surprise me, they've studied spiders on drugs (as this video shows).

Sez You, my confused and gramatically challenged Echinodermic Asteroidia !

re·press
v. re·pressed, re·press·ing, re·press·es
v. tr.

1. To hold back by an act of volition: couldn't repress a smirk.
2. To put down by force, usually before total control has been lost; quell: repress a rebellion.
3. (Psychology) To exclude (painful or disturbing memories, for example) automatically or unconsciously from the conscious mind.


All of which are perfectly acceptable descriptions of being restrained from stupidity -especially the last !


It is absolutely untrue that I was making a Monty Python reference, and blew it. Utterly.

Alternately, Sertraline, 100mg. Much mellower and non-addictive... So says Pfizer, anyway. :?

Unfair. It was our own Matt from here that offered to grease someone up....I merely commented on the OGL and TLL implications of such activity......

Greetings!

This is just a curiosity-driven post checking up on the status of the Fair Use policy. Is there any word that can be shared with the general public as yet?

With Regards,
Flynn

 

[Mark A. Siefert]

I'm curious as well. I'm running a Traveller fan-blog and I want to know if what I'm publishing is kosher.

I believe Matt hinted last Thursday that an announcement would be coming soon - 'maybe early next week'-ish - after his discussion of the licenses and policy with Marc. He wants to get the wording right.

I too sit waiting patiently.
