I've seen a lot of apps pertaining to copyrighted material on the Android Market, including paid apps. Mario stuff, Star Trek stuff, Avatar stuff, etc. It doesn't *appear* that anyone goes to the effort of licensing them, as they're made by various smaller developers. Most franchises tend to be alright with free stuff that doesn't conflict with or detract from the sales of their own licensed materials as well. There is a DHD program, albeit a poorly-designed one, for the iPhone. I did put a lot of thought into it, and I believe it is alright. If MGM does have any complaints, I would fully comply with it, but the general idea would be free, fun, and supporting the Stargate franchise. I did put a good amount of thought into this issue before making the attempt. ;)
If it did turn out that I was forced to take it down, I still would be able to play with it personally, and it's creation is going to be a learning process in itself, so it's worth the effort either way. But I doubt there's going to be an issue, I'm an avid supporter of the Stargate franchise, and I was thinking about including like a quick promotional link in the menu to an official site or something. Most companies have no problem with free advertising.
