On the other hand, my opinion is legal advice. (Critical failure on David's "avert lawyers" roll.) David non-legal non-advice is pretty much on target, however. Perhaps he should have mentioned the criminal penalties for copyright infringement.

On a completely different topic, I have privately expressed my willingness to give free legal help to any of the mooted efforts to publish Gloranthan material. Take this as a public expression. (I also have some pretty good editing and typesetting skills from my stint as an editor in chief.)
