Yes.
But it might be possible to get permission to distribute something (especially if it were of high quality).

I'm glad you didn't -- we've had several characters with "Resourceful," and it never seemed to be abused.

I don't think the Heortlings in Sartar have much need for sages (Jonstown being one exception, but probably the only one). And you certainly don't have to be on the ring to be an expert in the law, called upon by the clan chief for legal advice.
