If we wanted to do this, we'd need to sanitize it six ways from Sunday, and I'd have to spend a lot of time with the US Trademark Search engine seeing what Paramount/CBS actually owns. I know that they hold: Klingon Romulan Star Trek It would be a safe bet to assume that all "star trek" alien races of any significance are trademarked. To be on the safe side, we would want to avoid using any remotely trademarkable item that has appeared in an ST tv show or movie. Yeah, that sucks, but Paramount/CBS fiercely protects their property, and this is a heavily merchandized field (just look at how many licensed ST computer games exist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_games#Video_games ). Alternately, we could ask Paramount/CBS. *snicker* I think you know what that will bring. ;) So, if and only if someone goes through and removes everything trademarked from it... and does it correctly... For example: Captain John U. Quirk [OK] Captain James S. Kirk [NOT OK] Captain Jane T. Kirk [NOT OK] Lt. Spok [NOT OK] Lt. Squawk [OK] ... if that was done, I would be willing to audit it, and if it gets by me, we could include it. :) ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list
