I have been itching to write my own setting material using the Mongoose Traveller rules. So I was curious, what is the OGL in relation to works that only use the core rules (e.g. the ones that could be found on http://www.traveller-srd.com/). I really like the system, and I am worried I may get a letter stating that I should stop what I am doing. So I have a few questions:
A) Is it possible to write supplementary books for Traveller without Mongoose (or Far Future's) expressed permission?
B) Is it possible to market said books, without Mongoose's expressed permission?
C) Is there any limitations on what I can actually write, so as to not invalidate existing official supplementary books?
D) Is there a limit on what types of books can be written (e.g. large setting books ala 2300ad/Dredd, smaller supplements or LBB's?) for the setting?
E) What rights do I reserve to my written work?
The setting and its materials, are written by me and a few other people, who have no known affiliation to Mongoose.
