Hi guys,
To keep you updated, just about everything has been agreed and sorted with Marc. I just need to sit down and twiddle some files, and then we will be sorted. It will basically break down like this;
1. Fair Use Policy - covers all previous editions of Traveller in all their forms, lets you do pretty much anything you want so long as it is non-commercial and has a disclaimer.
2. The Traveller Logo Licence will stand as it is - feel free to suggest new inclusions for the SRD from both the rulebook and supplements as they come out. This allows you to publish material for the current version of Traveller, for commercial or non-commercial reasons, as you see fit.
3. A new licence is being finalised (just as soon as I can clear some space on my desk - any delays now are all down to me, not Marc!). This will be the Free Sector Licence, which allows you to use any and all OTU references with respect to the Foreven Sector only - again, for commercial reasons or otherwise. This means (so long as you stay within the bounds of the Foreven Sector) anyone would be free to publish OTU material, including references to the Zhodani, the Imperial Scout Service, Third Imperium, or anything else you like.
We will go into more details on this in the next few days but, basically, you will have just about all the freedom you need to create your own OTU material, and publish it commercially, if you so choose. Such material will be considered Open to a degree, allowing people to build upon the work of others, and make it a true Traveller community.
