Say Jon(GZG)?

I noticed that you have been fairly quite on the maps/encyclopedia/ect.
lately.

What is your take on all this, seeing as you started the managerie?

I still have A LOT of emails relating to this stacked up unread in the
mailbox, that I've been trying to find the time to get round to! I have held
back from commenting or getting involved at this stage, because you guys seem
to have everything well under control and things seem to be developing nicely.

I don't have any problems with the sort of thing that is being developed,
provided a few basic common-sense rules are followed:

1) Everything is clearly noted as "unofficial", and where canon parts are used
from the official background they are clearly flagged as such;

2) all appropriate copyrights and trademarks relating to the games are
acknowledged;

3) it is all being done for strictly non-commercial purposes.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together - who knows, if
something really spectacular comes out of it there might even be the
possibility of at least parts of it becoming "official" and of making a
treeware publication from it....!:)

Keep up the good work,

Is there a preferred form for this legal disclaimer?

Someting like this: "All Trademarks copyright respective owners; used without
permission; no challenge to ownership is intended." (I have something like
this on my page, I've been meaning to ask for a while if this is enough)

Or should we (those of us who have GZG-related webpages and GZGEncyc
writers) use some more specific piece of legal garble?

Thanks,
